Automated Workana Milestone Deadline Tracking
Every morning, WebRun opens Workana, reads the milestones on your active projects, counts the days to each deadline, checks which completed milestones still have payments waiting to be released, posts the whole picture to Slack, and sends you a Telegram warning about anything due inside 48 hours.
How do I track freelance project milestones and deadlines automatically?
WebRun opens Workana each morning, reads the milestones on your active projects, and counts the days to every deadline. It posts a soonest-first list to Slack alongside the delivered milestones whose payment is still unreleased, and sends a Telegram warning for anything due inside 48 hours.
- Every deadline inside seven days is visible by 8:00 AM
- Delivered work waiting on payment stops being forgotten
- Anything due inside 48 hours reaches you on Telegram, not just a channel

Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Will it release a payment or accept a milestone for me?
No. WebRun never moves money and never marks a milestone accepted. It reads the state in Workana and reports what is waiting. Releasing a payment stays your decision inside Workana.
Does it message the freelancer or the client?
No. The Slack post and the Telegram warning both go to you and your own team. WebRun never sends a message on the platform or contacts the other side of a project.
What if a project has no milestones set?
It is listed separately as a project with no dated milestone, so a job running on an informal deadline is visible rather than silently missing from the countdown.
