How do I automatically hand off flagged Grist rows to the right teammate?
WebRun checks your Grist tracking table every few minutes for rows tagged needs action, creates a Trello card with the row's details, and messages the assigned teammate on WhatsApp. Nothing waits for someone to notice a spreadsheet update, the right person gets a card and a ping the moment a row is flagged.
- Flagged rows become tracked cards within minutes, not at the next standup
- Assignees get a direct ping instead of checking a shared table
- No flagged row is duplicated into two cards

Questions, answered
Will it reassign or close out the Trello card itself?
No. WebRun only creates the card and notifies the assignee. Moving, completing, or reassigning it is left to your team.
What counts as a row needing action?
Any row you tag needs action in Grist, so you keep full control over what gets escalated.
Will the same row create duplicate cards?
No. It checks for an existing linked card before creating a new one, so re-runs never duplicate a handoff.
