In short

How do I automatically track permit deadlines for my fencing jobs?

WebRun scans JobNimbus every morning for fencing and deck jobs that require a permit, pulls each permit status and deadline, and updates an Airtable tracker with current days remaining, so your team always knows which permits are expiring soon and can act before a job stalls.

  • Expiring permits are flagged 30 days out before they cause a project delay
  • Your team has an up-to-date permit tracker in Airtable every morning
  • No active fencing job with a permit requirement goes unmonitored

Questions, answered

Will it file or submit permit applications automatically?

No. WebRun only tracks and surfaces deadlines in Airtable. Any permit filing or submission is handled by your team after reviewing the tracker.

Where does it find the permit information in JobNimbus?

It reads job notes, custom fields, and tags you use to record permit status. If you add a standard note format for permits, WebRun will pick it up consistently on every run.

What if a permit expiry date changes after the job is created?

Update the permit expiry in the JobNimbus job record and WebRun will reflect the new date in Airtable on the next morning run.
