Automated Lyft Ride Expense Reconciliation
Every Monday, WebRun opens Lyft, checks completed rides and receipts from the past week, saves each receipt into the right expense folder in Google Drive, and posts finance the week's total ride spend in Slack, reconciled and ready for the expense report.
How do I reconcile weekly Lyft ride expenses automatically?
WebRun checks Lyft every Monday for the past week's completed rides and receipts, saves each receipt into the expense folder in Google Drive, and posts finance the reconciled total in Slack. Business travel and expense teams get a filed, totaled record every week instead of chasing receipts at month end.
- Every week's ride spend is reconciled the same Monday
- Missing receipts get flagged before month end, not after
- Expense folders stay organized without manual downloads

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 book a ride or dispute a fare?
No. WebRun only reads completed rides after the trip ends and files the receipt. Booking, cancelling, or disputing a fare stays with the employee.
What happens if a receipt is missing?
It's flagged in the Slack summary that week, so finance can follow up before it holds up the monthly close.
Can it handle multiple employees' Lyft accounts?
Set up a separate run for each employee's account. Each one files to its own expense folder and reports its own weekly total.
