Automated Rev Overdue Transcript Alerts

Every morning, WebRun opens Rev, compares every open order against its estimated turnaround time, logs any transcript still pending past that estimate to Google Sheets, and emails the project owner a heads-up naming which orders are running late.

In short

How do I get notified when a Rev transcript order is running late?

WebRun checks every open Rev order each morning against its estimated turnaround time, logs any transcript still pending past that estimate to Google Sheets, and emails the project owner a heads-up naming the file and how many hours overdue it is. Deadlines depending on a transcript stay protected without anyone refreshing the Rev dashboard by hand.

  • Late transcripts get flagged the same morning, not after a missed deadline
  • Project owners get a named list instead of checking Rev themselves
  • A running record of turnaround times builds up in Sheets

Questions, answered

Does it cancel or resubmit a late order?

No. WebRun only flags and reports late orders. Canceling or resubmitting an order stays a manual step in Rev.

How is overdue calculated?

Any open order still pending past the estimated delivery time Rev gave when the order was placed.

What happens once an order is delivered?

It drops off the overdue list on the next run and the Sheet row is updated, so the list always reflects what's still outstanding.
