Automated Mar-Kov Batch Formulation Change Logs
Every few hours, WebRun opens Mar-Kov, compares each batch formulation against its last known version, logs any ingredient, quantity, or process change to a Google Sheet with who made it and when, and posts a short change summary to Slack so QA never misses an update.
How do I keep an audit trail of batch formulation changes in Mar-Kov?
WebRun checks Mar-Kov every few hours for changes to any batch formulation, comparing ingredients, quantities, and process steps against the last known version. It logs each change to a Google Sheet with the old value, new value, editor, and timestamp, then posts a Slack summary so QA has a complete, searchable audit trail without checking Mar-Kov by hand.
- Every formulation edit is logged within hours instead of discovered at audit time
- QA gets a Slack summary instead of manually diffing recipes in Mar-Kov
- Allergen-related changes are flagged separately so they get reviewed first

Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Does it change or approve formulations itself?
No. WebRun only reads formulations in Mar-Kov and records what changed. It never edits a recipe or approves a change. Every update still happens in Mar-Kov by your own team.
How does it handle allergen-related changes?
It flags any change touching an allergen ingredient as high priority in both the sheet and the Slack summary, so QA reviews those first instead of scrolling through routine tweaks.
What if the same formulation changes twice in one day?
Each change gets its own row with its own timestamp, so the log shows the full sequence of edits rather than overwriting the previous entry.
