In short

How do I catch Melio bills stuck in approval before they are late?

WebRun checks Melio every morning for bills still waiting on approval and any payment that failed, and creates a Trello card for each one with the vendor, amount, and due date. It posts a summary to your accounts payable Teams channel with anything overdue flagged first, but never approves or sends a payment itself.

  • Stuck bills get flagged before they go past due
  • Every exception has a tracked Trello card
  • Your AP channel sees overdue items first

Questions, answered

Will WebRun approve or send a bill payment on its own?

No. WebRun only finds bills that need attention and reports them. Approving or sending a payment always stays a human action inside Melio.

What counts as an exception?

Any bill still waiting on approval close to its due date, and any payment that failed to go through, whatever the reason.

What happens once a bill is approved?

Its Trello card gets moved to done, so the board only ever shows what still genuinely needs a decision.

Put this on autopilot.
