Automated Flutterwave Failed Transfer Queue

Every hour, WebRun opens Flutterwave, reads the transfers list for anything failed or stuck in progress, captures the amount, currency, beneficiary details, and the reason on each, posts the live queue to Telegram, and texts the operations lead through Twilio when a payout has been sitting unresolved.

In short

How do I catch failed payouts before the recipient chases me?

WebRun works your failed payout queue every hour. It reads the Flutterwave transfers list for anything failed or stuck, captures the amount, currency, beneficiary, and failure reason, posts the live queue to Telegram, and texts the operations lead through Twilio when payouts start ageing.

  • Bad account details are fixed the same hour the payout fails
  • Every failure arrives with its reason and beneficiary attached
  • No money is moved or retried without a person deciding

Step by step

What does WebRun do on every run?

The exact actions WebRun takes, in order - in plain language, so you can adjust anything.

  1. WebRun signs in and gets to work

    Opens dashboard.flutterwave.com in a real browser with your saved login - no setup, no API keys.

  2. 1
    Flutterwave - find failed and stuck transfers
    flutterwave.com
    WebRun in Flutterwave: find failed and stuck transfers
    WebRun opens Flutterwave to find failed and stuck transfers.
    • Open Flutterwave and go to the transfers list
    • Filter to transfers with a failed status and those still pending well past their usual settlement
    • Capture the amount, currency, reference, and creation time for each
    • Record the beneficiary account details and the failure reason shown against the transfer
    • Never retry, resend, or create a transfer. WebRun only reads and reports

    Done when Every failed or stuck transfer is captured with its amount, beneficiary, and reason.

  3. 2
    Telegram - post the live payout queue
    telegram.org
    WebRun in Telegram: post the live payout queue
    WebRun opens Telegram to post the live payout queue.
    • Post the current queue to your operations group in Telegram
    • Group by failure reason so wrong account details are separated from bank side rejections
    • Show amount, currency, beneficiary reference, and how long each has been unresolved
    • Mark which entries are new since the last hourly run and which have cleared

    Done when The operations group has the live failed payout queue grouped by reason.

  4. 3
    Twilio - text the operations lead
    twilio.com
    WebRun in Twilio: text the operations lead
    WebRun opens Twilio to text the operations lead.
    • Text the operations lead through Twilio when a payout has been failed for longer than your threshold
    • State the count, the total value held up, and the oldest entry in the queue
    • Send to your own team number only. WebRun never contacts the beneficiary
    • Stay silent on hours when the queue is empty

    Done when The operations lead is alerted only when payouts are ageing in the queue.

Questions, answered

Will it retry a failed transfer?

No. WebRun reads the transfers list and reports the failures with their reasons. Retrying a payout or moving any money stays a human action, so no funds leave your account on an automated run.

Does it contact the beneficiary?

No. Everything it sends is internal: a Telegram post to your operations group and a text to your own team number. The person waiting on the payout is never messaged by WebRun.

How quickly does a failure show up?

Within the hour. Each run reads the live transfers list, so a payout that bounced on wrong account details is in the Telegram queue with its reason the same hour it failed.

Put this on autopilot.
