Alert managers the moment a shift goes uncovered
Every morning, WebRun checks Google Calendar for scheduled shifts at all store locations in the next 48 hours, cross-references confirmed coverage against the headcount requirements stored in PDI Technologies, identifies any shift with no confirmed employee, and sends a Telegram alert to the site manager with the shift time, location, and a prompt to find cover.

How do I automatically get alerted when a convenience store shift is uncovered?
WebRun checks Google Calendar every morning for shifts in the next 48 hours across all store locations and compares confirmed staff against the minimum headcount requirements in PDI Technologies. Any uncovered or understaffed shift triggers a Telegram alert to the site manager with the time, location, and shortfall count so cover can be arranged in time.
- Uncovered shifts are flagged 48 hours in advance so managers have time to find cover
- Age-restricted shift requirements are called out in every alert
- Managers are never surprised by a vacant shift on the day

Questions, answered
Will it contact employees to fill shifts automatically?
No. WebRun alerts the site manager via Telegram and never contacts individual employees directly. The manager decides who to call for cover.
How far in advance does it flag uncovered shifts?
It looks 48 hours ahead every morning, giving managers enough lead time to find cover before the shift starts.
Does it flag age-restricted shift requirements?
Yes. If a shift requires a certified age-restricted sales employee, the Telegram alert includes that note so the manager knows to find someone with the right certification.
