Automated GitKraken Pull Request Queue
Every hour, WebRun opens GitKraken, lists the open pull requests across your repositories, works out which reviewer each one is waiting on and how long it has sat there, holds review time in Google Calendar for anyone with a backlog, and WhatsApps the team the oldest requests.
How do I stop pull requests sitting unreviewed all day?
Every hour, WebRun opens GitKraken, lists the open pull requests across your repositories, and works out who each one is waiting on and for how long. It holds review time in Google Calendar for reviewers with a backlog and WhatsApps the team the oldest requests still untouched.
- No pull request sits untouched through a whole working day
- Each reviewer sees only their own queue, grouped by age
- Requests with merge conflicts or no reviewer are flagged immediately
Built for engineering managers · team leads · software teams · open source maintainers

How is each run configured?
Secure by default
Connect once, stays signed in
WebRun signs in once and keeps each session in a persistent environment, so every run picks up right where it left off.
Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Will it approve, comment on, or merge pull requests?
No. WebRun only reads the state of each pull request and reports the queue. Approving, commenting, and merging stay with your engineers, so no code moves without a human review.
Will it message reviewers individually?
No. It posts one grouped list to your own engineering chat in WhatsApp so people see their queue in context. It never sends a direct message to a reviewer or a calendar invite.
How does it decide a pull request is stale?
It measures time since the last review activity against the threshold you set, for example four hours, and lists only the requests past it so the hourly message stays short.
