How do I get alerted before a Forecast project goes over budget?
WebRun checks every active Forecast project each morning, flags any past 80 percent of its budget, and logs an at-risk card on your Trello budget board. It then sends the project owner a WhatsApp alert with the exact number, so budget overruns get caught while there's still time to act.
- Budget overruns get caught at 80 percent, not after the fact
- Project owners hear about risk the same morning it appears
- At-risk projects stay visible on a shared Trello board

Questions, answered
Will it pause or change any project budgets?
No. WebRun only reads logged time and cost against the budget you set in Forecast. It never edits a budget or a project itself.
What counts as over threshold?
Any project past 80 percent of its budget, so you hear about it while there's still room to adjust, not after it's already over.
Will it alert the same owner repeatedly?
No, it checks who was already alerted today so an owner gets one WhatsApp message per project per day, not a repeat every run.
