Automated Roofing Permit and Inspection Deadline Tracker
Every morning, WebRun opens AccuLynx, scans active jobs for permit expiry dates and scheduled inspections within the next 14 days, logs each deadline to a Google Sheet, and posts your project manager a Slack digest with every at-risk date sorted by urgency.
How do I automatically track roofing permit and inspection deadlines?
WebRun opens AccuLynx every morning, finds every active job with a permit expiry or inspection date within 14 days, logs each deadline to a Google Sheet, and posts your project manager a Slack digest sorted by days remaining. Critical deadlines within 3 days are flagged so your team acts before a job is delayed.
- No permit or inspection deadline goes unnoticed more than 14 days in advance
- Critical deadlines within 3 days are flagged and surfaced at the top of the Slack digest
- Every deadline is logged and searchable in Google Sheets for audit purposes

Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Does it contact the permit office or inspector automatically?
No. WebRun only flags upcoming deadlines internally and posts them to Slack. All permit applications, renewals, and inspection scheduling remain with your project manager.
What counts as a critical deadline?
By default, any permit or inspection date within 3 days is flagged as critical in the Slack digest. You can ask WebRun to adjust this threshold to match your team's workflow.
What if a permit date is updated in AccuLynx?
WebRun reads AccuLynx fresh each morning, so any date change made the day before will be reflected in the next morning's digest and Google Sheet update.
