Automated Runn Assignment End Reminders

Every Monday, WebRun opens Runn, checks active assignments ending in the next 14 days, creates a Trello staffing follow-up card for anyone with nothing lined up next, and messages the project manager on WhatsApp.

In short

How do I get reminded before a Runn assignment ends?

WebRun checks Runn every Monday for assignments ending in the next 14 days, creates a Trello staffing card for anyone with nothing lined up after, and messages the project manager on WhatsApp with the full list. People coming off a project get flagged early, so nobody sits on the bench by accident.

  • Unstaffed people get flagged 14 days before they're free
  • Bench time gets caught before it happens, not after
  • Staffed people drop off the list automatically

Questions, answered

Will it create or end an assignment on its own?

No. WebRun only reads assignment end dates. It never creates, extends, or ends an assignment in Runn.

How far ahead does it check?

It flags assignments ending in the next 14 days, giving the project manager enough runway to line up someone's next project.

What happens once someone's staffed on something new?

It reads live assignment data each Monday, so once a person has a new assignment booked, they drop off the follow-up list.

Put this on autopilot.
