Automated Autodesk Build Submittal Tracking
Every morning, WebRun opens Autodesk Build, reviews the submittal log, captures each item's status, ball-in-court, and due date, flags the ones overdue or pending review, and posts your team a Slack list of submittals to push today.
How do I track overdue construction submittals automatically?
Every morning, WebRun reviews your Autodesk Build submittal log, capturing each item's spec section, status, ball-in-court, and due date. It flags submittals that are overdue or pending a reviewer, logs them to a Google Sheet, and posts your team a ranked Slack list, so stalled submittals get pushed before they delay procurement.
- Overdue submittals surface every morning, not at the deadline
- Each stalled item names who it is waiting on
- The submittal log stays current without manual status chasing

Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Will it approve or reject submittals?
No. WebRun only reads the submittal log and reports status. Approving, rejecting, or responding to a submittal stays with your team inside Autodesk Build.
How does it know what is overdue?
It reads each submittal's due date and current ball-in-court in Autodesk Build, then flags anything past due or pending a reviewer's action and ranks it by urgency.
Can it tell me who is holding things up?
Yes. Each flagged submittal names the ball-in-court party, so it is clear whether the delay sits with a reviewer, the architect, or the submitter.
