Automated Zello Shift Coverage Gap Alerts
Every hour during a shift, WebRun opens Zello, checks who's checked into the work channel, compares that against who's scheduled to be on shift in Google Calendar, and sends the supervisor a WhatsApp alert naming anyone scheduled who hasn't checked in, so a gap in coverage gets caught while it still matters.
How do I catch shift coverage gaps on Zello?
WebRun checks your Zello work channel every hour during a shift, compares who's checked in against who's scheduled in Google Calendar, and sends the supervisor a WhatsApp alert naming anyone scheduled but not checked in. Following up with that person stays a human call, made by the supervisor, not WebRun.
- Coverage gaps get flagged within the hour they happen
- Supervisors see gaps without watching the channel constantly
- Scheduled shifts and actual check-ins stay reconciled automatically

Questions, answered
Does WebRun contact the missing staff member directly?
No. It only alerts the supervisor. Following up with the staff member who hasn't checked in stays a human decision.
Where does the shift schedule come from?
Your existing Google Calendar shift schedule. WebRun reads who's supposed to be on shift and compares it to actual Zello check-ins.
What if someone checks in late?
The next hourly check picks it up, so the gap alert only reflects the current moment, not a permanent mark against anyone.
