Automated PermitFlow Submittal Pipeline Digest

Every morning, WebRun opens PermitFlow, pulls every active permit across all projects, groups them by stage such as submitted, in review, corrections needed, resubmitted, and issued, and posts a Slack digest with the count at each stage and which jobs have moved since yesterday.

In short

How do I get a daily overview of my whole permit submittal pipeline?

WebRun opens PermitFlow every morning and pulls every active permit across all projects, grouping them by stage, submitted, in review, corrections needed, resubmitted, and issued. It posts a Slack digest with the count at each stage and which permits moved since yesterday, so your team starts the day knowing exactly where every project stands without opening PermitFlow first.

  • The whole pipeline is visible in Slack before anyone opens PermitFlow
  • Stages that are backing up for days running get flagged automatically
  • Every project's movement since yesterday is summarized in one digest

Built for permit expediters · permit expediting firms · construction project managers · general contractors

Questions, answered

Does it change any permit's stage or status?

No. WebRun only reads PermitFlow and reports what it finds. It never edits a status, submits a form, or moves a permit between stages itself.

What counts as movement since yesterday?

Any permit whose stage in PermitFlow, such as submitted, in review, or issued, is different from what it recorded on the previous morning's run.

Can it warn us if a stage is backing up?

Yes. It flags any stage whose count has grown for three days running, which usually means something in that part of the pipeline needs attention.

Put this on autopilot.

Turn it on in minutes - or have our team set it up for you.
