Automated Capacities Stale Object Review Chase

Every Monday, WebRun opens Capacities, finds project and task objects with no edit in 3 weeks, logs each one to a Google Sheet review tracker with its type and last edit date, and emails the owner a reminder to revisit them, so objects created in a networked knowledge base don't quietly go cold.

In short

How do I find Capacities objects that have gone stale?

WebRun checks Capacities every Monday for project and task objects with no edit in 3 weeks, logs each one to a Google Sheet review tracker with its type and last edit date, and emails the owner a reminder to revisit them, so ideas and projects captured in a networked knowledge base don't quietly go cold without anyone noticing.

  • Stale objects get a review reminder before they're forgotten
  • Owners get a direct nudge instead of scanning the whole space
  • A running review tracker builds up automatically

Questions, answered

Does WebRun edit or archive stale objects?

No. It only reads last edit dates. Editing, archiving, or deleting an object is left entirely to you in Capacities.

Who receives the reminder email?

Only the internal owner of each object, over Gmail. It's never sent to anyone outside your team.

What counts as stale?

Any project or task object with no edit in Capacities for 3 weeks. A single edit resets the clock and clears it from the next tracker update.

Put this on autopilot.

Turn it on in minutes - or have our team set it up for you.
