Automated Exercism Mentor Review Chasing
Every morning, WebRun opens Exercism, checks the mentor queue for student solutions waiting more than 3 days for review, logs each one to a Trello board, and drafts a WhatsApp nudge to the assigned mentor.
How do I keep the Exercism mentor review queue from backing up?
WebRun checks the Exercism mentor queue every morning for student solutions waiting more than 3 days for review. It logs each overdue one to a Trello board and drafts a WhatsApp nudge to the assigned mentor, so a volunteer mentoring program stays responsive without the coordinator checking the queue by hand.
- Overdue mentor reviews surface every morning instead of piling up
- Mentors get a light, human reviewed nudge instead of a system email
- The queue board always shows exactly who's behind
Built for Exercism mentoring programs · coding bootcamps · open source mentoring leads · coding clubs

Questions, answered
Will it message mentors without approval?
No. WebRun only drafts the WhatsApp nudge. The program coordinator reviews and sends it, since mentors are volunteers and tone matters.
What counts as overdue?
A solution waiting more than 3 days for review. Treat that as a guideline for a volunteer program, not a hard deadline.
Does it track which mentor a solution is assigned to?
Yes. Each Trello card and nudge is tied to the mentor the solution is actually assigned to in Exercism.
