Automated Hightail Review Deadline Chasing
Every morning, WebRun opens Hightail, checks every space sent for review, finds files with no comments or approval after 3 days, posts the full list to Slack, and sends the most overdue ones to Telegram.
How do I chase creative files that are stuck waiting on feedback?
WebRun checks every Hightail space each morning for files sent for review that still have no comments or approval after 3 days. It posts the full backlog to Slack with each reviewer named, then sends a Telegram alert for the most overdue files, so stalled creative reviews get chased before a deadline slips.
- Stalled reviews surface every morning instead of at the deadline
- Reviewers get named in the chase list, not just the file
- Cleared reviews drop off the list automatically

Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Will it approve or comment on files for the reviewer?
No. WebRun only reads each file's review status. Leaving feedback or approving a file is left entirely to the assigned reviewer.
How is a file marked overdue?
Anything with no comment or approval 3 days after it was sent for review, so the threshold matches how your team actually works.
What happens once a file gets feedback?
It reads the live status in Hightail each morning, so anything reviewed since the last check drops off the list automatically.
