Automated HireRight Background Check Alerts
Every morning, WebRun opens HireRight, checks every in-progress background check for its status and days elapsed, posts a status list to Slack, and pings the recruiting lead on Telegram the moment a check is flagged or stuck past your threshold.
How do I get alerted when a HireRight background check stalls or comes back flagged?
WebRun reviews every in-progress HireRight background check each morning, reading its status and how many days it has been open. It posts the full list to Slack for the recruiting team, then pings the recruiting lead directly on Telegram the moment a check comes back flagged or sits stuck past your threshold, so nothing waits unnoticed.
- Flagged checks get a same-day ping instead of sitting unnoticed
- Recruiters see every check's status in Slack each morning
- Cleared checks drop out of the alert automatically

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
Does it contact the candidate about the check?
No. WebRun only posts status updates internally to Slack and Telegram. It never emails, texts, or messages the candidate directly.
What counts as flagged?
Any check HireRight returns with a discrepancy, or one still in progress past the elapsed-time threshold you set, gets flagged for a same-day ping.
Does it still ping me about checks that finish quickly?
No, it reads the live status in HireRight each morning, so a check that clears overnight simply shows as on track and drops out of the alert.
