Automated ContentStudio Approval Queue Tracking
Every morning, WebRun opens ContentStudio, checks the content calendar for posts waiting on approval, creates a Trello card for each with its due date and channel, and sends the approver a WhatsApp nudge for anything waiting more than a day.
How do I stop posts from stalling in ContentStudio's approval queue?
WebRun checks ContentStudio every morning for posts stuck awaiting approval, creates a Trello card for each with its channel and due date, and sends the assigned approver a WhatsApp nudge once a post has waited over a day. It never approves or publishes anything itself, keeping every post's final go-ahead with your team.
- Approvals stuck over a day get a nudge instead of sitting silent
- The Trello board always matches ContentStudio's live approval queue
- No scheduled post misses its publish date because of a stalled sign-off

Questions, answered
Does WebRun approve or publish posts itself?
No. It only tracks what is waiting and nudges the approver. Approving and publishing stay a manual step inside ContentStudio.
What counts as overdue?
Any post still marked Pending Approval more than 24 hours after it was submitted gets a WhatsApp nudge, not just a Trello card.
What happens once a post is approved?
The next run sees the updated status in ContentStudio and moves its Trello card to Done automatically.
