Automated Staples Office Supply Reorder Alerts
Every Monday, WebRun opens Staples, checks the saved office supply reorder list for stock and price changes, posts the status to Slack sorted by what is already out of stock, and sends an urgent Telegram ping if any item marked critical to daily operations is unavailable.
How do I track office supply stock on a recurring Staples order?
WebRun checks a standing Staples office supply list every Monday for stock and price changes, posts the status to Slack sorted by what is already out, and sends an urgent Telegram ping if a critical item is unavailable. This keeps everyday office supplies from running out before anyone notices.
- Critical supplies get flagged the same day they run out
- Office team opens Slack to a ready status every Monday
- Price increases get caught before the next reorder

Questions, answered
Will it place the reorder for me?
No. WebRun only checks stock and price and reports them. Placing the actual reorder on Staples is left for the office team.
What makes an item critical?
Whichever items are marked critical on the standing supply list, such as printer paper or coffee, trigger the same-day Telegram ping when they run out.
Can I update the supply list?
Yes. WebRun reads whatever list is saved in Staples, so editing that list changes what gets checked the following week.
