Automated GoFrugal PO Approval Reminders
Every weekday morning, WebRun opens GoFrugal, lists every purchase order still waiting for approval, sorts them by how long they have been pending and by value, and posts a Slack reminder that tags each approver so nothing stalls before a supplier deadline.
How do I remind managers to approve pending purchase orders?
Every weekday morning, WebRun opens GoFrugal, lists every purchase order still awaiting approval, and works out how long each has waited and what it is worth. It then posts a Slack reminder that tags each approver, oldest first, so no order stalls past a supplier deadline waiting on a signature.
- Pending POs cleared before supplier cut-offs
- Every approver nudged with the orders they own
- No purchase order lost in the queue overnight

Questions, answered
Does WebRun approve the purchase orders itself?
No. WebRun only reminds the right manager in Slack that a PO is waiting. Approval stays a human decision inside GoFrugal, so no order is ever authorised without a person signing off.
How does it know who should approve each PO?
It reads the approver or raised-by set on each purchase order in GoFrugal and tags that person in Slack, so the reminder lands with whoever actually owns the sign-off.
Will approvers get spammed every day?
No. It only lists orders still pending, oldest first, and drops each one the moment it is approved in GoFrugal, so the reminder shrinks as your team clears the queue.
