Chase Missing Order Confirmations

Every morning, WebRun opens Coupa, finds any PO that was sent more than 24 hours ago and still has no supplier acknowledgement, drafts a chaser email for each one, and pings you in Slack so you can review and send.

In short

How can I automatically chase suppliers for missing order confirmations?

Every morning, WebRun opens Coupa, finds every purchase order sent more than 24 hours ago without a supplier acknowledgement, drafts a polite chaser email for each one, and pings you in Slack to review and send - so no order silently falls through without a confirmation.

  • No PO goes unacknowledged past your deadline
  • Chaser emails drafted and ready for one-click review
  • Supplier response gaps visible in Slack every morning

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it send the chaser emails automatically?

Never - every chaser is saved as a Gmail draft and waits for you to review and click Send. Nothing goes to a supplier without your approval.

What if the supplier already confirmed but not in Coupa?

Check the Gmail thread before sending the draft. If confirmation arrived by email rather than through the portal, you can discard the draft and update Coupa manually.

Can I set a different deadline before chasing?

Yes - the 24-hour window is configurable. Set it to 48 hours or any timeframe that matches your supplier relationships.

Put this on autopilot.
