Automated Silo Quality Hold Release Alerts
Every hour, WebRun checks Silo for lots newly placed on or released from quality hold, posts a Slack alert telling the warehouse which lots to segregate or which are cleared to ship, and logs every hold and release in a Google Sheet with how long the hold lasted.
How do I alert my warehouse the instant a lot goes on or comes off quality hold?
Every hour, WebRun checks Silo for lots newly placed on or released from quality hold. It posts a Slack alert telling the warehouse which lots to segregate and which are cleared to ship, then logs every hold and release in a Google Sheet with how long the hold lasted, so nothing sits on hold unnoticed.
- Held lots get segregated the same hour, not after a picker grabs one by mistake
- Every hold and release is logged with duration for pattern spotting
- Releases are reported the moment a QA reviewer approves them in Silo, never automated

Slack - alert the warehouse to segregate or ship

- Never mark a lot released in Silo. Only report what a QA reviewer has already decided
Done when Warehouse has a same-hour Slack alert for every hold placed and every hold released.

Questions, answered
Does it release the hold automatically?
No. WebRun only reports what a QA reviewer has already decided in Silo. Placing or releasing a quality hold is always a human decision made directly in Silo, never something WebRun does on its own.
How quickly does the warehouse find out about a new hold?
Within the hour. WebRun checks Silo on an hourly cycle during business hours, so a lot placed on hold gets a Slack alert the same hour it happens.
Does it tell customers a hold affected their order?
No. The Slack alert and hold log are internal only. Any customer-facing communication about a delayed or affected order is handled separately by your team.
