Automated Dext Receipt Capture Digest
Every morning, WebRun opens Dext, checks how many receipts and invoices were captured and published to the accounting software overnight, saves the day's batch as a summary to Google Drive, and posts the digest to Slack so the bookkeeper knows what needs a manual look.
How do I get a daily digest of what Dext captured overnight?
WebRun checks Dext every morning for receipts and invoices captured and published overnight, saves a dated summary to Google Drive, and posts the digest to Slack for the bookkeeper. Anything stuck needing manual review gets flagged by name, so it gets a look instead of sitting unnoticed in the queue.
- Overnight capture activity is visible in Slack without a Dext login
- Stuck items get flagged the same morning instead of aging in the queue
- Each day's capture summary is saved and easy to look back on

Questions, answered
Does it publish stuck items itself?
No. WebRun only counts and flags what is stuck. Reviewing and publishing a captured item stays a task inside Dext.
Does it push anything to the accounting software?
No. It only reads what Dext has already captured and published. It never pushes a new entry on its own.
How is the daily record kept?
A dated summary is saved to Google Drive each day, so you can look back at any prior day's capture activity.
