In short

How do I get a daily schedule digest for my excavation projects?

WebRun opens Buildertrend every morning, scans all active excavation project schedules, and flags every overdue or at-risk task. It then posts a ranked digest to Slack so your project managers start the day knowing exactly which jobs need attention and which crew member is responsible.

  • Project managers start each day with a ranked action list instead of hunting through Buildertrend
  • At-risk tasks are flagged before they become delays
  • Every crew member knows their priority for the day

Built for excavation contractors · site prep crews · general contractors · construction project managers

Questions, answered

Will it change anything in Buildertrend?

No. WebRun reads the schedule data and reports it. It never moves tasks, reassigns crew, or edits dates in Buildertrend.

Can it cover multiple projects at once?

Yes. It scans all active excavation projects in your Buildertrend account each morning and rolls them into one ranked digest.

What counts as at-risk?

Tasks due within two business days that have no completion confirmation in Buildertrend are flagged at-risk. You can adjust the lookahead window during setup.
