Automated Microsoft To Do Overdue Alerts

Every evening, WebRun opens Microsoft To Do, scans your lists for tasks that are past due or due tomorrow, sends you a short text through Twilio when something urgent is still open, and posts the full overdue list to your Telegram channel so nothing quietly rolls into next week.

In short

How do I get alerted about overdue Microsoft To Do tasks?

WebRun checks your Microsoft To Do lists every evening and pulls out every task still open past its due date. It texts you through Twilio when something is badly late, and posts the full overdue list to Telegram, oldest first, so slipping tasks surface the same day instead of next week.

  • Overdue tasks surface the same evening, not next week
  • A text arrives only when something is genuinely late
  • One Telegram list shows every slipping task across every To Do list

Questions, answered

Will it text anyone besides me?

No. The Twilio text goes to your own number only. Any message aimed at a teammate or a client is drafted and left for you to approve before it sends.

Does it complete or reschedule my tasks?

No. WebRun reads Microsoft To Do and never ticks off, edits, or moves a task. Deciding what to do with an overdue item stays with you.

Will I get a text every single night?

Only when something is more than two days overdue. On a clean night the text is skipped entirely and you just get the quiet Telegram list.

Put this on autopilot.
