Automated Tree Removal Permit Tracking
Every morning, WebRun reviews the permit tracker in Google Sheets, cross-references upcoming tree removal jobs in SingleOps, flags any permit that is pending too long or nearing expiry, and posts an alert to Slack so your team can act before a job is delayed.
How do I track tree removal permits and get alerts when jobs are at risk?
WebRun reviews your permit tracking sheet in Google Sheets every morning, cross-references upcoming tree removal jobs in SingleOps, and flags any permit that is overdue or at risk of delaying a scheduled job. It posts a prioritized Slack alert to your operations team so no job stalls for a missing permit.
- At-risk permits are surfaced the morning they need action, not the day of the job
- Operations team has a live permit status dashboard updated daily in Google Sheets
- Jobs never stall because a permit issue was missed

Questions, answered
Does it file permits or contact the municipality automatically?
No. It only monitors status and flags issues. Any permit filing or communication with the municipality is done by your team.
How does it track permit status if it is not in SingleOps?
Your team maintains permit status in the Google Sheets tracker. WebRun reads that sheet each morning and cross-references it with upcoming jobs in SingleOps.
What counts as at-risk?
A job is flagged as at-risk when the permit has been pending for more than 10 business days or the job is scheduled within 14 days and the permit is not yet approved.
