Automated SigmaNEST Material Certification Requests
Every morning, WebRun opens SigmaNEST, finds jobs whose specification calls for a gauge and thickness certification, checks the job's folder in Google Drive for an existing mill cert or certificate of conformance, drafts a request email to the material supplier in Gmail for any cert still missing, and posts a Slack alert to quality so no cert-required job starts without its paperwork.
How do I make sure every SigmaNEST job has its required material cert?
WebRun checks SigmaNEST every morning for jobs requiring a gauge and thickness certification, then looks in Google Drive for an existing mill cert matching the heat or lot number. For any cert still missing, it drafts a supplier request email in Gmail and alerts quality in Slack, so no job starts without its paperwork chased down first.
- Missing material certs are caught before a job starts, not at final inspection
- Supplier requests go out as a ready-to-send draft instead of starting from scratch
- Certs get matched by heat and lot number so nothing is missed on a technicality

How is each run configured?
Secure by default
Connect once, stays signed in
WebRun signs in once and keeps each session in a persistent environment, so every run picks up right where it left off.
Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Will it request certs from the supplier without me?
No. WebRun only drafts the request email in Gmail. Your team reviews and sends it, so nothing goes to the supplier without a human checking it first.
How does it know a job needs a certification?
It reads the specification attached to the job in SigmaNEST for a gauge and thickness certification requirement, so keeping that flag current keeps the check accurate.
What if the cert is on file but under the wrong job?
It matches by heat or lot number, not just job folder, so a cert filed elsewhere in Google Drive under the same lot is still recognized as on file.
