Automated Process Serving Deadline Tracking
Every morning, WebRun opens ServeManager, pulls every active job with a serve-by deadline, flags those due within 48 hours, logs the detail to a Google Sheet, and posts a prioritized list to Slack so your team starts the day knowing exactly which serves need action today.
How do I automatically track process serving deadlines?
WebRun opens ServeManager every morning, reads every active job's serve-by date, and flags those due within 48 hours as urgent and within 7 days as upcoming. It logs each flagged job to a Google Sheet and posts a ranked deadline list to Slack so your team knows exactly which serves need action today.
- Urgent serves are flagged every morning before the workday begins
- No serve-by deadline is missed because it was not noticed in time
- The deadline tracker sheet stays current without manual data entry
Built for process serving companies · legal support firms · process servers · law firm support staff

Questions, answered
How far in advance does it flag deadlines?
It flags jobs due within 48 hours as urgent and those due within 7 days as upcoming, so you always have a rolling week of visibility.
Will it change or update anything in ServeManager?
No. WebRun reads ServeManager and logs to Sheets; it never edits a job record or sends any message to a client.
What if the same job appears multiple days in a row?
It re-reads live status each morning, so jobs that have been served and closed in ServeManager are automatically excluded from the next run.
