Automated Microsoft Project Slip Reports
Every Monday, WebRun opens Microsoft Project, compares each task and milestone against its baseline finish date, records how many days each one has slipped in Airtable, and writes a status report in Notion naming the critical-path items at risk and who owns them.
How do I track which project milestones are slipping?
WebRun opens Microsoft Project every Monday and compares each task and milestone against its baseline finish date. It records the days of slip per task in Airtable and writes a Notion status report naming at-risk milestones, the worst-slipping tasks, and their owners, so delays surface weekly.
- Slipping milestones are named weekly with days lost
- Slip accumulates visibly instead of appearing at the deadline
- Recovered tasks are reported alongside the risks
Built for project managers · PMO teams · construction planners · engineering leads

Questions, answered
Will it reschedule tasks in my plan?
No. WebRun reads Microsoft Project only. It never moves a date, edits a dependency, or reassigns a task. Replanning stays with your project manager, so the schedule only changes when a person decides it should.
Does the report go to clients?
No. The status report is written to your internal Notion space. WebRun never emails a client or a stakeholder outside your team. If you want an external update, WebRun drafts it and you approve and send it.
What if a task has no baseline?
It is listed separately as unbaselined rather than reported as zero slip, so gaps in the plan are visible instead of quietly making the project look healthier than it is.
