Automated Send Anywhere File Handoff Alerts

Every few minutes, WebRun checks Send Anywhere for newly received transfers, saves each file to the right Google Drive folder, and posts the assigned teammate a Slack notification with the file details.

In short

How do I make sure files sent through Send Anywhere reach the right teammate?

WebRun checks Send Anywhere every few minutes for newly received file transfers, saving a copy of each to the matching Google Drive folder. It then notifies the assigned teammate in Slack with the file details and a link, so an incoming transfer is archived and handed off before its share link even expires.

  • Received files reach the right teammate within minutes
  • Every transfer backed up to Drive before a link expires
  • No file handoff depends on someone checking Send Anywhere

Questions, answered

Will it forward the file to anyone else?

No. WebRun only notifies the teammate you've already assigned. It never forwards a file to a new recipient on its own.

Does it keep a copy if the sender's transfer link expires?

Yes. Since it archives every file to Google Drive right away, an expired Send Anywhere link does not mean the file is lost.

How does it decide who to notify?

It matches the transfer to the project or teammate you've mapped it to, so the right person gets the Slack alert.

Put this on autopilot.
