Automated DBS Payment Approval Queue Alerts

Every morning, WebRun signs in to DBS Bank, reads the payments prepared but still waiting on approval with their value dates and amounts, works out how long until the daily cutoff, pings the approvers on Telegram, and drafts a Gmail summary for the finance lead.

In short

How do I make sure pending bank payments get approved before cutoff?

WebRun signs in to DBS Bank each morning and reads the payments prepared but still awaiting approval, capturing each amount, value date, and waiting approver. It pings those approvers on Telegram with the hours left before cutoff and drafts a Gmail summary for the finance lead.

  • Payroll and supplier runs stop missing their value date
  • Every approver knows what is sitting with them before cutoff
  • WebRun reports the queue and never releases a payment

Questions, answered

Will it approve or release a payment?

No, and it never could. WebRun only reads the pending approvals view and reports what is sitting there. Approving and releasing any payment stays entirely with your authorised approvers in DBS Bank.

Does it email anyone outside the company?

No. The Telegram ping goes to your own approvers and the Gmail summary is left as a draft for your finance lead. Nothing is sent to a supplier or any third party.

How does it know what is urgent?

It reads each item's value date and compares it against the daily cutoff time you set, so payments due today or tomorrow are listed first with the hours remaining shown.

Put this on autopilot.
