Automated TickTick Overdue Task Catch-Up Alerts
Every morning, WebRun opens TickTick, flags tasks that are now overdue by more than a day across shared lists, blocks a catch up slot on Google Calendar so the backlog actually gets addressed, and posts the alert to Microsoft Teams so the team can see who needs support.
How do I stop overdue TickTick tasks from piling up?
WebRun checks TickTick every morning for tasks overdue by more than a day, blocks a catch up slot on the assignee's Google Calendar so the backlog gets real time set aside, and posts the alert to Microsoft Teams, turning a growing pile of overdue tasks into a scheduled fix instead of a list nobody gets back to.
- Overdue tasks get scheduled catch up time instead of staying on the list
- The team sees who needs support before the backlog grows further
- Every overdue alert comes with a calendar slot already booked

Questions, answered
Does WebRun complete or reschedule overdue tasks?
No. It only reads due dates and adds a calendar hold. Completing or rescheduling a task is left entirely to the assignee in TickTick.
Will the calendar hold conflict with existing meetings?
No. WebRun checks for open time first and only blocks a slot that's actually free.
Is this posted anywhere outside the team?
No. The alert only goes to your internal Microsoft Teams channel, never to a client or outside contact.
