Automated Natural HR Leave Request Digests

Every morning, WebRun opens Natural HR, checks pending leave requests and who's away in the next 2 weeks, saves a coverage summary to Google Drive, and posts a digest to Slack so managers can plan around it.

In short

How do I get a daily view of pending leave requests in Natural HR?

WebRun checks Natural HR every morning for pending and upcoming leave requests, saves a coverage summary to Google Drive flagging any team with overlapping leave, and posts a digest to Slack for managers. It never approves a request or contacts the employee. Managers get one daily view instead of checking Natural HR themselves.

  • Managers see pending leave and coverage gaps every morning
  • Overlapping leave within a team is flagged before it's approved
  • No leave request is approved or denied without a human

Built for People managers · HR operations · Small business HR · Team leads

Questions, answered

Does it approve or deny leave requests?

No. WebRun only reads pending requests from Natural HR and summarizes them. Every approval decision stays with the manager.

Does it message the employee requesting leave?

No. It only posts internally to the managers channel in Slack. The employee sees their request status directly in Natural HR.

How does it catch overlapping leave?

It checks confirmed leave across the same team for the next 2 weeks and flags any dates where more than one person is away.
