Alert on Lark approvals stuck too long

Every hour, WebRun opens Lark's Approval app, finds requests that have been pending past your set threshold, creates a Trello card to track each stuck request, and sends the approver a WhatsApp ping once it has waited over a day, so approvals stop stalling in the queue.

How do I stop Lark approval requests from stalling?

WebRun checks Lark's Approval app every hour for requests pending past your threshold, creates a Trello card to track each stuck one, and pings the approver on WhatsApp once it has waited over a day. Approval decisions stay in Lark with a human, so nothing gets approved or rejected automatically.

  • Stuck approvals get tracked the same hour they stall
  • Approvers get pinged only once a request is truly overdue
  • Nothing sits in the Lark approval queue unnoticed

Questions, answered

Does WebRun approve requests in Lark?

No. It only tracks and chases. Every approval or rejection decision happens in Lark, made by the approver themselves.

How long before an approver gets pinged?

Once a request has been pending for over a day. Anything still within a normal turnaround doesn't trigger a WhatsApp message.

What happens to the Trello card once approved?

WebRun checks Lark each hour, so once a request clears, its card stops being flagged as stuck on the next run.
