Automated Overdue Project Task Chasing
Every morning, WebRun opens ProjectManager.com, lists every task past its due date and still open, groups them by assignee, drafts each person a short Gmail nudge for you to approve, and books a catch-up slot in your Google Calendar to work through anything blocking a milestone.
How do I chase overdue project tasks without doing it by hand?
WebRun opens ProjectManager.com every weekday morning and lists every open task past its due date. It groups them by assignee, drafts each person a short Gmail nudge for you to approve, and books catch-up time in your Google Calendar for the overdue tasks blocking a milestone.
- Every overdue task is chased the morning after it slips
- One email per person instead of a thread per task
- Milestones at risk get time booked against them the same day
Built for project managers · agency delivery leads · construction planners · operations teams

Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Will it email my team without me checking first?
No. Every nudge is left as a Gmail draft for you to read, edit, and send. WebRun builds the per-person list and writes the wording, and you decide who hears from you.
Does it change due dates or close tasks?
No. WebRun only reads your ProjectManager.com task list. It never moves a due date, reassigns work, marks a task complete, or edits a project plan.
How does it know which overdue tasks actually matter?
It checks whether an overdue task sits on the critical path or blocks a milestone falling in the next two weeks, and those are the ones that get calendar time booked against them.
