Automated VFX Shot Slippage Digest
Every morning, WebRun opens Vani Software, checks each active shot's stage against its target delivery date, calculates how many days each one is slipping, and posts your production team a ranked Slack digest so the shots most at risk of missing the deadline are visible before they become a crisis.
How do I spot VFX shots slipping behind schedule automatically?
WebRun opens Vani Software every morning and checks each active shot's stage against its delivery date. It flags any shot slipping behind, ranks them by days late, and posts your production team a grouped Slack digest, so the deadlines most at risk are visible early and nobody discovers a slip only when the milestone breaks.
- At-risk deadlines surface days early instead of at the milestone
- The team opens Slack to a ranked slip list every morning
- Shots that catch up drop off the report automatically from live Vani Software data

Questions, answered
Does it message clients about the delays?
No. WebRun posts an internal Slack digest for your own production team only. It never contacts a client, so how you handle an at-risk deadline stays entirely your call.
How does it decide a shot is slipping?
It compares each shot's current stage in Vani Software against its target delivery date and the work remaining. Shots behind the plan or past their date are flagged and ranked by how many days they are slipping.
Can we change how far behind counts as urgent?
Yes. You set the thresholds, so a shot one day behind can sit lower while anything a week behind jumps to the top of the digest. Adjust the tiers in your WebRun settings anytime.
