Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Does it approve or reject the request itself?
No. WebRun only reads pending status and sends a reminder. Approving or rejecting a request always stays a decision made by the assigned approver in Kissflow.
How long does a request have to wait before someone gets emailed?
More than 2 business days. Anything moving normally within that window never triggers a reminder.
Can I see which approvers are the most common bottleneck?
Yes. Each day's stalled requests are logged in the same Google Sheets tracker, so a repeat bottleneck approver is easy to spot over time.
