Automated Concur Approval Queue Digest

Every morning, WebRun opens SAP Concur, reads every expense report sitting in the approval queue, sorts them by how long they have waited and by amount, posts the list to Slack, and sends a Telegram ping for anything past your ageing limit.

In short

How do I stop expense reports sitting unapproved in Concur?

WebRun opens SAP Concur every morning and reads every expense report sitting in the approval queue. It posts Slack an oldest-first list with the submitter, amount, and days waited, then sends a Telegram ping for any report past your ageing limit, so nothing sits unapproved for a fortnight.

  • Approvers see the queue every morning without opening Concur
  • Reports past the ageing limit trigger a direct ping
  • Staff get reimbursed without having to chase their manager

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it approve expense reports for me?

No. WebRun only reads the queue and reports what is waiting. It never approves, rejects, or returns a report, and it never sends anything to the submitter. Every approval decision stays yours inside Concur.

How long before something counts as overdue?

Three working days by default, which is where most expense policies sit. Change it to one day for a fast-moving team or five for a monthly cycle, and the Telegram ping follows the new limit.

Can it split the list by approver?

Yes. When several managers approve, WebRun groups the Slack list under each approver's name so nobody has to scan the whole queue to find the two reports that are theirs.

Put this on autopilot.
