Automated SigmaNEST Rush Order Alerts
Every few minutes, WebRun opens SigmaNEST, scans for jobs flagged rush or expedite, checks whether each one has been nested and scheduled yet, and posts a Slack alert naming any rush job that is not moving so the floor can bump it ahead of the regular queue.
How do I make sure rush orders in SigmaNEST get prioritized?
WebRun scans SigmaNEST every few minutes for jobs flagged rush or expedite and checks whether each has actually been nested and scheduled. Any rush job still sitting untouched triggers a Slack alert naming the job, customer, and wait time, so a shift lead can bump it ahead of the queue before it gets lost.
- Rush jobs get caught within minutes of falling behind, not at the end of shift
- Shift leads see exactly how long a rush job has been waiting
- Expedite priority stays visible without someone manually rechecking SigmaNEST all day
Built for shift leads · production schedulers · fabrication shop supervisors · sheet metal shop owners

Questions, answered
Does it reorder the production schedule automatically?
No. WebRun only alerts the shift lead in Slack. A human still decides how and where to slot the rush job into the schedule.
How does it know a job is a rush order?
It reads the rush or expedite flag already set on the job in SigmaNEST, so however your team marks priority orders is what the alert follows.
Will I get repeated alerts for the same rush job?
It only posts about a rush job while it remains unnested or unscheduled. Once it moves into the queue, that job stops triggering alerts.
