Automated Katana Production Status Digest
Every morning, WebRun opens Katana, reviews the Make schedule, captures each manufacturing order's status, quantity, and due date, flags the ones blocked or past due, logs them to a Google Sheet, and posts your team a Slack digest of what needs attention today.
How do I track Katana manufacturing order status automatically?
Every morning, WebRun opens Katana and reviews the Make schedule, capturing each manufacturing order's product, quantity, status, and due date. It flags orders that are blocked or past due, logs them to a Google Sheet, and posts your team a ranked Slack digest, so production delays surface at the start of the shift instead of at the deadline.
- Blocked and overdue jobs surface every morning, not at the deadline
- The whole Make schedule lands in one digest
- Production status stays current without manual chasing

Questions, answered
Will it change my manufacturing order statuses?
No. WebRun only reads the Make schedule in Katana and reports it. Starting, completing, or unblocking an order stays with your floor team inside Katana.
How does it know what is overdue?
It reads each manufacturing order's due date and production status in Katana, then flags anything marked Blocked or past its due date and ranks it so the most urgent jobs sit at the top.
Can it cover several products at once?
Yes. WebRun walks the whole Make schedule each morning, so every open manufacturing order across your products lands in one digest, not just a single line.
