How do I chase overdue items in Podio?

WebRun scans your Podio workspace every morning for items with tasks past their due date. It checks Google Drive to see whether the linked file has moved since, then drafts a short Twilio chase text naming the item and how many days it has slipped, leaving it unsent for you to review and send.

  • Overdue items get chased the same morning they slip
  • Drive activity shows whether work actually continued off Podio
  • Nothing is texted to anyone without a human review first

Questions, answered

Does it complete or reassign the overdue task?

No. It only reads the task's due date and reports what's overdue. Completing or reassigning it is left to the owner.

Does it text the item's owner automatically?

No. It drafts one chase text per overdue item and leaves it unsent. You review and send it yourself.

Does it check the file's contents in Google Drive?

No. It only checks the file's last-modified timestamp, not its contents.
