Automated Deskpro Shift Handover Notes

At the end of every day, WebRun opens Deskpro, reads the tickets still open across your queues, groups them by status, urgency, and waiting time, saves a dated handover note to a Google Drive folder, and sends the incoming shift a short WhatsApp list of the tickets they must pick up first.

In short

How do I hand over an open support queue between shifts?

WebRun reads your open Deskpro tickets at the end of every day, grouping them by queue, status, and waiting time. It saves a dated handover note to Google Drive with owners and last actions, then sends the incoming shift a WhatsApp list of the tickets waiting longest, so nothing is lost between shifts.

  • The next shift starts knowing exactly what is waiting
  • Every day has a written record of the queue in Drive
  • Tickets waiting longest get picked up first, not last

Questions, answered

Will it reply to customers or change ticket status?

No. WebRun only reads Deskpro. It never replies to a ticket, reassigns it, or marks it resolved, so the queue is exactly as your agents left it.

Can it cover only certain queues?

Yes. Name the Deskpro queues, brands, or teams you want covered and the handover note includes only those, which keeps the WhatsApp message short enough to act on.

What if the queue is empty at end of day?

It still saves a dated note recording a clear queue and sends a one-line WhatsApp confirmation, so the shift log stays continuous and nobody wonders whether the run happened.

Put this on autopilot.
