Automated GorillaDesk Daily Route Sheets

Every morning before technicians head out, WebRun opens GorillaDesk, pulls every job scheduled for the day, builds a route sheet in Google Sheets sorted by technician and stop order with address, job type, and species notes, and posts it to Slack so every tech starts the day with a clear plan.

In short

How do I automatically build a daily route sheet for wildlife removal technicians?

WebRun pulls every job scheduled for today from GorillaDesk each morning, builds a route sheet in Google Sheets for every technician sorted by drive distance and appointment window, and posts each route to Slack before the day starts. Every technician leaves with addresses, job types, and species notes already organized, without dispatch building the list by hand.

  • Every technician gets a ready route sheet before the day starts
  • Stops are ordered by drive distance instead of a manual list
  • Office staff sees every route at a glance in one tracker

Built for wildlife removal dispatchers · multi-technician trapping companies · field service operations managers · route-based wildlife control businesses

Questions, answered

Does it change or reassign jobs between technicians?

No. It only organizes the jobs already assigned and scheduled in GorillaDesk into a readable route sheet. Assignment changes stay a dispatcher decision.

How are stops ordered within a technician's route?

By drive distance and appointment window, so each technician gets a sensible order to work through rather than a random list of addresses.

What if a job gets added after the route sheet posts?

It reads GorillaDesk fresh each morning, so a same-day addition after the route posts will show up on the next run. Dispatch can still message the technician directly for a same-day change.

Put this on autopilot.
