In short

How do I catch stale Twist threads before they get forgotten?

WebRun checks Twist every morning for threads waiting on a reply for more than 24 hours, creates a Trello card assigned to the thread owner, and posts a summary to Microsoft Teams. Threads built for async conversation still get chased when they go quiet too long, without turning Twist into a real-time chat tool.

  • Stale threads get an assigned Trello card within a day
  • The whole team has visibility, not just the thread owner
  • Async conversations stay async, WebRun does not chat on its own

Questions, answered

Does WebRun reply to the thread itself?

No. It only creates a Trello card and flags the thread. The actual reply in Twist is still written by the owner.

How does it pick a thread owner?

It uses whoever the thread is already assigned to or last responsible for in Twist, so the Trello card lands with the right person.

What counts as stale?

Any thread with no reply for more than 24 hours, which fits how Twist is designed for asynchronous, lower-noise conversations.

Put this on autopilot.
