Automated Piktochart Deadline Chasing
Every morning, WebRun opens Piktochart, checks infographics, reports, and presentations still in draft status, compares each against its content calendar deadline, archives any newly finished export to Google Drive, and texts the marketer via Twilio when a piece is overdue and still in draft, so a deadline does not pass quietly while a design sits unfinished.
How do I catch overdue Piktochart projects before their deadline passes?
WebRun checks Piktochart every morning for drafts overdue or nearing their content calendar deadline, archives newly finished exports to Google Drive, and texts the marketer via Twilio when a piece is running late. Deadlines get caught while there is still time to finish, instead of being discovered after they pass.
- Overdue drafts get flagged with time left to finish, not after
- Finished exports are backed up automatically to Drive
- The marketer gets one text instead of checking every project manually

Questions, answered
Does it finish the design itself?
No. WebRun only tracks how close a draft is to its deadline and archives finished exports. Designing the infographic or report stays a manual task.
How does it know the deadline for a project?
It reads the deadline you track for that project, such as a note on the project or a matching entry on your content calendar.
What happens to finished exports?
They get archived automatically into a Google Drive campaign folder, so finished work has a backup outside Piktochart.
