In short

How do I get a daily digest of what changed in Namely?

WebRun checks Namely every morning for what changed since the day before, including time-off requests, profile updates, and new hires. It posts a digest to Slack for your HR team and pings HR directly on Telegram for anything still pending approval, so requests never sit unnoticed and the team starts the day already caught up.

  • HR starts the day already caught up on every change
  • Pending approvals get a same-day ping instead of aging silently
  • A clean daily digest replaces manually checking Namely

Questions, answered

Does it approve time-off requests itself?

No. WebRun only reports what's pending. Approving or denying a request stays a decision your HR team makes in Namely.

Does it contact employees about their requests?

No, both the digest and the ping go to your internal HR team. WebRun never messages an employee about their request.

What if nothing changed overnight?

The digest simply reports zero changes and no pending approvals, so HR isn't scanning Slack for nothing.

Put this on autopilot.
