Automated Hive Stalled Task Handoff
Every morning, WebRun opens Hive, finds action items with no status update in 5 days, messages a proposed new owner on WhatsApp with the details, and books a handoff check-in on Google Calendar.
How do I hand off stalled Hive tasks to a new owner automatically?
WebRun checks Hive every morning for action items with no update in 5 days, messages a proposed new owner on WhatsApp with the details, and books a short handoff check-in on Google Calendar between the original and new owner. Stalled work gets a path forward instead of quietly sitting untouched.
- Stalled tasks get a proposed new owner the same morning
- Handoffs come with a scheduled check-in instead of a cold reassignment
- Original owners get flagged before work quietly falls through

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 reassign the task without anyone agreeing?
No. WebRun only proposes a new owner and messages them to confirm. The actual reassignment in Hive still needs a person to make it.
How does it pick a backup owner?
It looks at who else is on the project team in Hive. If nobody's a clear fit, the item is flagged for you to assign manually.
What counts as stalled?
Any action item with no status update in 5 days, so items that are simply waiting on someone else don't get flagged too early.
