Clear the time off requests waiting on a manager

Every morning, WebRun opens Paylocity, finds the time off requests still awaiting approval, reads who asked, the dates, and the balance left, puts one card per request on the manager's Trello board, and sends a WhatsApp nudge for the requests whose start date is closest.

In short

How do I clear pending time off requests in Paylocity before the schedule is set?

WebRun opens Paylocity every morning, finds the time off requests still awaiting approval, and reads the employee, dates, days requested, and remaining balance. It queues one Trello card per request for the approving manager and sends a WhatsApp nudge on the ones starting soonest, so leave is answered before staff book anything.

  • Staff know their leave is approved before they book travel
  • Managers open Trello to only their own pending decisions
  • No request sits unanswered until the week it starts

Questions, answered

Will it approve time off on my behalf?

No. WebRun only reads the pending requests and queues them for the manager who owns the decision. Approving or declining stays a human action taken inside Paylocity.

Does the employee get messaged?

No. The WhatsApp nudge goes to the approving manager only. Employees hear the outcome through Paylocity in the normal way, once a manager has actually made the call.

What happens to a request once it is decided?

WebRun reads the live status in Paylocity each morning, so an approved or declined request drops off the queue and its Trello card is moved to Done on the next run.

Put this on autopilot.
