Automated Craft.io Backlog Spec Handoff

Every few minutes, WebRun checks Craft.io for backlog items newly marked ready for spec, saves a brief export with the requirements and linked insights to Google Drive, and texts the owning product manager through Twilio, so a prioritization decision turns into an assigned spec within minutes instead of waiting for the next planning meeting.

In short

How do I hand off Craft.io backlog items to a PM automatically?

  • Ready-for-spec items reach the PM within minutes
  • Every handoff comes with requirements already compiled
  • No prioritized item waits for the next planning meeting to move

Questions, answered

Does WebRun decide when an item is ready for spec?

No. It only watches for the status your team already sets in Craft.io. Marking something ready for spec is always a human decision.

Does it write the spec itself?

No. It saves a brief with the existing requirements and insights so the PM has everything in one place, but writing the actual spec is left to the PM.

Who gets texted?

Only the internal PM already assigned to the backlog item. It's never sent to a customer or anyone outside the product team.

Put this on autopilot.
