Automated Abstract Branch Review Alerts
Every few hours, WebRun opens Abstract, checks every branch waiting on review, flags any sitting longer than the team review window, saves a snapshot note of each stalled branch status to Google Drive, and texts the design lead via Twilio when a branch is holding up a release, so review requests stop sitting unanswered.
How do I catch Abstract design branches stuck in review before they block a release?
WebRun checks Abstract every few hours for branches waiting on review past your team review window, saves a dated snapshot of each stalled branch to Google Drive, and texts the design lead via Twilio when one is blocking a release. Review requests get caught before they quietly hold up a launch.
- Stalled review branches get caught within hours, not days
- The design lead is texted only when a branch actually blocks a release
- A dated record shows which branches or reviewers cause repeat delays

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
Does it review or approve the branch itself?
No. WebRun only flags how long a branch has been waiting. Reviewing and merging stays with the assigned reviewer inside Abstract.
How does it decide a branch is blocking a release?
You set the team review window. Once a branch waits longer than that window, it counts as blocking and triggers the text alert.
Where can I see the history of stalled branches?
Every snapshot is saved to Google Drive with a date, so you can see which branches or reviewers tend to cause delays over time.
