Update your team the moment a tool's build stage changes

Every morning, WebRun opens TSTracker, checks every active tool build for a stage change since the last run, groups the moves by stage, and posts a plain language update to Slack so PMs, engineers, and the shop floor all see the same picture without logging into TSTracker.

In short

How can I automatically notify my team when a tool's build stage changes in TSTracker?

WebRun checks TSTracker every morning for tools that moved to a new build stage, such as Design, Machining, Assembly, or Tryout, then posts a plain language update to Slack grouped by stage. It flags tools stuck longer than usual, so PMs, engineers, and the shop floor stay current without anyone opening TSTracker themselves.

  • Every stage change reaches the team the same morning it happens
  • Tools stuck in one stage longer than usual get flagged automatically
  • PMs and shop floor see the same build picture without opening TSTracker

Questions, answered

Does this change anything in TSTracker?

No. WebRun only reads build stage data from TSTracker, it never edits a job or moves a tool to a new stage itself. Stage changes still come from whoever updates the record on the shop floor.

How does it know a tool actually changed stage?

It compares each tool's current stage in TSTracker against what it saw on the previous run, so only real stage changes since the last check show up in the update.

Can it flag tools stuck in one stage too long?

Yes. It tracks how many days each tool has sat in its current stage and flags any running longer than your shop's typical pace for that stage.

Put this on autopilot.
