Automated Missing Document Worklists

Every morning, WebRun opens ExpertClear, finds engagements flagged as awaiting records, checks the matching case folder in Dropbox for what has actually arrived, and posts a Slack worklist of cases still blocked on documents from counsel so nothing stalls waiting on a file that never came.

In short

How do I see which cases are waiting on documents from counsel automatically?

WebRun surfaces cases stalled on paperwork every morning. It opens ExpertClear to find engagements awaiting records, checks the matching Dropbox case folder for what has actually arrived, and posts a Slack worklist of cases still blocked on documents from counsel, naming the missing items so you can chase the right file before the case slips.

  • Cases blocked on counsel surface every morning instead of stalling silently
  • Documents received overnight drop off the list automatically from live Dropbox contents
  • Follow-up requests to counsel stay drafts for your approval, never auto-sent

Good to know

Questions, answered

Does it email counsel to chase the documents?

No, not on its own. This workflow posts an internal Slack worklist of blocked cases. Any follow-up request to counsel is drafted for your review and sent only after you approve it, so nothing goes out automatically.

How does it know a document already arrived?

It checks the matching case folder in Dropbox each morning and matches what has landed against the expected list in ExpertClear, so a file received overnight is marked complete and drops off the worklist.

Can it tell which documents are still missing?

Yes. It compares the documents expected on each engagement in ExpertClear against what is present in the Dropbox case folder, so the worklist names the specific items still outstanding rather than just flagging the case.

Put this on autopilot.
