In short

How do I get alerted when a mail job's status changes in BCC Software?

WebRun checks BCC Software every hour for every active mail job's production stage, catching jobs that have moved forward and jobs stalled past their target time. It posts a live Slack alert naming the job, client, and new stage, so your production team spots a stuck job the same hour it happens, not at day's end.

  • Stalled jobs surface within the hour, not at day's end
  • Every status change posts to Slack automatically
  • Production leads see the whole day's job movement in one channel

Built for lettershops · mailing houses · direct mail production teams · print and mail service bureaus

Questions, answered

Does it ever message the client about job status?

No. WebRun only posts inside your internal Slack channel. It never emails or messages a client with a status update on its own.

How does it know a job has stalled?

It compares each job's current stage in BCC Software against its stage at the last check and flags anything still sitting in the same stage past the target time you set.

Will it flood Slack with alerts during a busy day?

No. WebRun groups status changes from the same run into a single message per channel, so a busy hour produces one clear update, not a dozen separate pings.

Put this on autopilot.
