Automated PeopleHR Pending Leave Request Chase
Every morning, WebRun opens PeopleHR, finds leave requests that have waited for approval past your threshold, logs each one to a Notion tracker, and exports the full list to Google Sheets so the HR manager can clear the backlog.
How do I clear a backlog of pending leave requests in PeopleHR?
WebRun checks PeopleHR every morning for leave requests that have waited for approval past your threshold. It logs each one to a Notion tracker and exports the full backlog to Google Sheets sorted by days waiting, so the HR manager can see and clear stuck requests instead of employees chasing approvals themselves.
- Leave request backlogs get cleared instead of forgotten
- Longest-waiting requests always surface first
- Approved requests drop off the list automatically

Questions, answered
Does it approve the leave requests?
No. WebRun only tracks and lists what's pending. Approving or declining a request stays a decision the manager makes in PeopleHR.
Does it contact the employee waiting on approval?
No, the tracker and export are internal to HR. WebRun never messages the employee about their pending request.
What happens once a request is approved?
It reads the live status in PeopleHR each morning, so an approved request is marked cleared and drops off the backlog automatically.
