Automated Kyriba Payment Approval Chasing

Every hour, WebRun opens Kyriba, checks the payments awaiting approval queue, flags any payment stuck past your set limit, messages the assigned approver on WhatsApp with the details, and adds a follow up reminder to Google Calendar for anything still unapproved.

In short

How do I chase stuck payment approvals in Kyriba?

WebRun checks Kyriba every hour for payments waiting on approval, flags any that have sat past your set limit, and messages the assigned approver on WhatsApp with the amount, payee, and wait time. If a payment is still stuck, it adds a follow up reminder to Google Calendar, so approvals never quietly stall in the queue.

  • Stuck payment approvals get a nudge the same hour
  • Approvers see exactly what is waiting and for how long
  • Nothing sits unapproved without a scheduled follow up

Questions, answered

Can WebRun approve or release a payment itself?

No. WebRun only finds payments stuck waiting and nudges the approver. Approving, releasing, or sending a payment always stays a human action inside Kyriba.

How long does a payment have to wait before it gets flagged?

You set the limit. Anything past it gets a WhatsApp nudge to the assigned approver rather than sitting quietly in the queue.

What happens if the approver still does not act?

A follow up reminder goes on the treasury lead's Google Calendar for the next business day, so a stuck payment cannot get forgotten.

Put this on autopilot.
