In short

How do I stop purchase orders from stalling in Deskera approval?

WebRun checks Deskera every hour for purchase orders sitting above your approval threshold, pings the assigned approver in Slack with the vendor and amount, and drafts a vendor confirmation email in Gmail. The draft stays unsent until the PO is approved, so no spend commitment goes out before a human signs off.

  • Purchase orders get an approver ping within the hour instead of sitting unseen
  • Vendor confirmations are ready to send the moment approval lands
  • No purchase order commits spend without a human signing off first

Questions, answered

Will it send the purchase order to the vendor itself?

No. WebRun only drafts the vendor confirmation email in Gmail once a PO is approved. It never sends an email or commits spend without your approval first.

How does it choose who to ping?

It reads the approver assigned to that purchase order in Deskera, so the alert always reaches the person who is actually meant to sign off.

What counts as a big purchase order?

Whatever dollar threshold you set. Anything under it is left for your normal process, so you only get pinged on the ones that matter.

Put this on autopilot.
