Automated Emissions Report Approval Routing
When a completed emissions report is flagged in Persefoni, WebRun checks the report type and framework, identifies the right approver, drafts a sign-off request email in Gmail, and posts a Slack reminder to the approver so the report does not sit waiting past the disclosure deadline.
How do I route completed emissions reports for approval automatically?
WebRun detects when an emissions report is completed in Persefoni, identifies the correct approver based on the report type and your routing rules, drafts a sign-off request email in Gmail, and posts a Slack reminder to the approver. The email waits for team review before it reaches the approver, and a follow-up reminder fires after 48 hours if sign-off is still pending.
- Completed reports reach the right approver within minutes of being finished in Persefoni
- No report sits waiting silently - Slack reminders escalate after 48 hours
- The approval email is reviewed by your team before the approver sees it

Questions, answered
Will it send the sign-off request to the approver automatically?
No. The sign-off request email is drafted in Gmail and waits for a team member to review it before it is sent. The Slack message goes to the internal channel only.
How does it know who the right approver is?
It uses the routing rules you configure during setup: for example, CSRD reports go to the CFO, internal GHG inventories go to the sustainability lead. You set the rules once and WebRun applies them every time.
What happens if the approver does not respond before the deadline?
WebRun posts a follow-up Slack reminder 48 hours after the first notification if sign-off has not been confirmed, so the deadline stays visible.
