Automated Humanity Shift Swap Request Digests

Every morning, WebRun opens Humanity, checks pending shift swap and open-shift requests, logs each one with its status in Google Sheets, and emails the scheduling manager a summary flagging anything pending over 24 hours.

In short

How do I keep pending Humanity shift swap requests from piling up?

WebRun checks Humanity every morning for pending shift swap and open-shift requests, logs each one with its status in Google Sheets, and emails the scheduling manager a summary flagging anything pending over 24 hours. It never approves or denies a request itself. The scheduling manager makes every swap decision in Humanity.

  • Scheduling managers see pending swaps every morning, not days later
  • Requests over 24 hours old are flagged first
  • No swap is approved or denied without a human

Built for Scheduling managers · Retail operations · Hospitality managers · Shift-based businesses

Good to know

Questions, answered

Does it approve or deny shift swaps?

No. WebRun only reads pending requests from Humanity and summarizes them. Every approval decision stays with the scheduling manager.

Does it message employees about their swap request?

No. It only emails the internal scheduling manager. Employees see their request status directly in Humanity.

How old does a request need to be to get flagged?

Anything still pending after 24 hours is flagged first, so nothing sits unanswered over a shift change.
