Automated Signal Group Action Item Log
Every evening, WebRun opens Signal on your own device, reads the day's messages in the group you nominate, identifies the requests, decisions and commitments buried in the thread, writes one row per item into a Google Sheets tracker with who asked and who owns it, and posts the day's summary to your Microsoft Teams channel.
How do I stop action items getting lost in a group chat?
WebRun turns your Signal group chat into a tracked list every evening. It reads the day's messages in the group you nominate, pulls out the requests, decisions and commitments, logs one row per item in Google Sheets with the owner, and posts the summary to Microsoft Teams.
- Asks made in chat end the day in a tracker with an owner
- Nobody scrolls back through hundreds of messages to find a promise
- Open items from earlier days stay visible until they close
Built for operations teams · field crews · community managers · small business owners · volunteer coordinators

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 send messages in Signal?
No. WebRun reads only. It never replies in the group, never starts a chat, never reacts to a message and never deletes anything, so nobody in the group sees any activity from it.
Which chats does it read?
Only the groups you nominate during setup. Every other conversation on your Signal account is left untouched, and personal or one to one chats are never read unless you name them.
Where does the content end up?
In the Google Sheets tracker and the Microsoft Teams channel you choose, and nowhere else. Nothing is emailed out, posted publicly or shared with anyone outside those two places.
