In short

How do I chase employees for missing Pleo receipts?

WebRun opens Pleo every morning and finds card spend that still has no receipt attached. It groups the gaps by cardholder, drafts each person a polite Gmail nudge for you to approve, and posts the outstanding total to your finance WhatsApp group, so month end starts with a clean expense file.

  • Missing receipts get chased the day after the spend, not at month end
  • Finance sees the unreceipted total move down every morning
  • Nobody has to build the chase list by hand in Pleo

Step by step

What does WebRun do on every run?

The exact actions WebRun takes, in order - in plain language, so you can adjust anything.

  1. WebRun signs in and gets to work

    Opens app.pleo.io in a real browser with your saved login - no setup, no API keys.

  2. 1
    Pleo - find spend with no receipt

    Done when Every expense without a receipt is listed against the person who spent it.

Questions, answered

Will it email my team without me seeing it first?

No. Every nudge is left as a Gmail draft for you to read and send. WebRun writes the list and the wording, and you decide who actually gets a message.

Does it change anything in Pleo?

No. WebRun only reads your expense list in Pleo. It never edits an expense, approves spend, changes a card limit, or exports to your accounting system.

What if someone uploads the receipt overnight?

They drop off the list. WebRun reads live Pleo data at the start of every run, so anyone who has caught up gets no nudge that morning.

Put this on autopilot.
