In short

How do I make sure all my excavation crews submit their daily logs?

WebRun checks Buildertrend every afternoon for active excavation projects that are missing today's daily log. If any are found, it posts a Telegram reminder to your foreman channel listing the specific jobs, giving crews time to submit their logs before the end of the workday.

  • Every active excavation job has a daily log on file before close of business
  • Foremen get a targeted reminder only when their log is missing
  • Project documentation is complete for billing, compliance, and client reporting

Questions, answered

Does it fill in the daily log for the foreman?

No. WebRun only checks which logs are missing and sends the reminder. The foreman still logs into Buildertrend and submits the entry themselves.

What if all logs are already submitted?

It posts a short confirmation to Telegram so you know the check ran clean. No noise when everything is on track.

Can it remind individual foremen instead of a shared channel?

Yes. During setup you can configure it to message specific Telegram users instead of, or in addition to, the shared foreman channel.

Put this on autopilot.
