Automated Loop Returns Fraud Risk Flagging

Every morning, WebRun scans Loop Returns for return requests that show fraud risk signals such as high frequency from one customer, missing item claims on high-value orders, or policy exceptions, logs each flagged request in Google Sheets, and posts a Slack alert so your team can review and hold them before processing.

In short

How do I automatically flag high-risk returns for review before processing?

WebRun scans Loop Returns every morning for return requests showing fraud signals such as repeat-returner patterns, high-value missing item claims, and policy exceptions. Flagged requests are logged in Google Sheets and a Slack alert links your team to the queue so every suspicious return gets a human review before any refund or exchange is processed.

  • Fraud-risk returns are held for review before a refund is issued
  • Team gets a daily Slack alert with a direct link to the flagged queue
  • High-value suspicious returns are prioritized in the Google Sheet log

Questions, answered

Will it automatically deny or block a flagged return?

No. WebRun only flags and logs suspicious returns for your team to review. All decisions to approve, deny, or hold are made by a human in Loop Returns.

What signals does it look for?

WebRun checks for high return frequency from the same customer, high-value missing item claims, and returns that triggered Loop Returns policy exception flags.

What if no fraud risk signals appear today?

WebRun posts a brief Slack confirmation that no flagged returns were found, so your team always gets a clear signal whether action is needed.
