Automated Wonolo Unfilled Shift Alerts

Every hour, WebRun opens Wonolo, checks every upcoming shift's fill status against how close it is to start time, alerts the ops team in Slack the moment a shift looks likely to go unfilled, and pings the on-site manager on Telegram with the available backup workers Wonolo is showing.

In short

How do I stop Wonolo shifts from going unfilled?

WebRun checks Wonolo every hour for shifts starting within 24 hours that are still short of headcount, alerts your ops team in Slack, and pings the on-site manager on Telegram with the backup workers Wonolo shows as available. It never books a worker itself, so confirming a backup always stays your manager's own decision.

  • At risk shifts get flagged a full day out, not at start time
  • On-site managers see backup options without opening Wonolo
  • Fewer shifts start understaffed

Questions, answered

Does WebRun book the backup workers itself?

No. It only surfaces who is available on Wonolo. Booking or confirming a worker for the shift stays a manual step for your on-site manager.

How close to the shift does it start warning?

It checks every shift starting within the next 24 hours, so there is still time to book a backup worker before the shift begins.

What counts as at risk?

Any shift still below the headcount you set for it, whether that is fully unfilled or just short a worker or two.

Put this on autopilot.
