Keep every RA duty shift covered

Every night before rounds begin, WebRun opens StarRez to check who is scheduled for duty against the on-call roster in Google Calendar, confirms whether that RA has checked in or logged a prior round, posts a reminder to the RA on duty in Slack, and flags any shift with no assigned RA to the Residence Director.

In short

How do I make sure every RA duty shift is covered and reminded?

Every night before rounds, WebRun checks StarRez's duty log against the on-call roster in Google Calendar to confirm tonight's assigned RA, then sends that RA a shift reminder in Slack. If a shift has no RA assigned, it escalates directly to the Residence Director's channel, so a coverage gap gets caught before rounds are due to start, not after.

  • Every RA on duty gets a shift reminder before rounds start
  • Uncovered shifts are escalated the same night, not discovered the next morning
  • The Residence Director sees coverage gaps immediately in Slack

Questions, answered

Does this replace the RA's actual duty rounds?

No. WebRun only checks the schedule and sends reminders. Rounds, check-ins, and incident response are still done in person by the RA on duty.

How does it know a shift is uncovered?

It reads the on-call roster in Google Calendar each night, and any shift with no RA name assigned gets flagged and escalated to the Residence Director right away.

What if an RA already logged in for their shift?

It checks the duty log in StarRez first, so an RA who already checked in still gets their normal shift reminder, but an uncovered shift gets escalated instead of just reminded.
