Automated Carta Cap Table Change Review Queue

Every morning, WebRun opens Carta, identifies any cap table changes made in the prior 24 hours including new share issuances, transfers, conversions, and cancellations, logs each change to a Google Sheet review queue, and posts a Slack alert to your operations team so every modification gets a human review before it stands.

In short

How do I automatically review Carta cap table changes before they are approved?

WebRun checks Carta every morning for cap table changes made in the prior 24 hours, including new issuances, transfers, conversions, and cancellations. Each change is logged to a Google Sheet review queue with the stakeholder, security type, and initiating user, and a Slack alert is posted so the operations team can review and confirm every modification before the day begins.

  • Every cap table change is reviewed within one business day instead of being discovered in a quarterly audit
  • Large ownership changes are flagged automatically for priority review
  • A complete modification log exists in Google Sheets for audit and legal purposes

Questions, answered

Does it reverse or block cap table changes automatically?

No. WebRun only logs and surfaces changes for human review. Reversing or approving a cap table modification always requires a fund manager or legal counsel to act in Carta directly.

What types of cap table changes does it track?

It tracks new share issuances, transfers between stakeholders, option grants and exercises, conversions, and cancellations as recorded in Carta's cap table activity log.

Can it notify specific people for specific change types?

Yes. You can configure the Slack step to tag different team members depending on the change type. For example, legal counsel for transfers and option exercises, and finance for issuances and cancellations.
