Get alerted when a Western Union transfer stalls

Every hour, WebRun opens Western Union, checks the status of every pending transfer, adds a follow up reminder to Google Calendar for anything still not delivered after the expected window, and posts a status alert to Microsoft Teams so a stalled transfer gets caught the same day.

In short

How do I get alerted when a Western Union transfer is delayed?

WebRun checks your pending Western Union transfers every hour, adds a follow up reminder to Google Calendar for anything running past its expected delivery window, and posts a status alert to Microsoft Teams. It never resends a transfer or issues a refund itself, so a stalled payment gets caught the same day, not when the recipient asks.

  • A stalled transfer gets flagged the same hour it passes its window
  • A calendar reminder makes the follow up hard to forget
  • On schedule transfers never generate a false alert

Questions, answered

Will it resend the transfer or issue a refund if it stalls?

No. WebRun never sends a payment, issues a refund, or transfers funds on its own. It only reads transfer status and alerts you, leaving any resend or refund request to you in Western Union.

How does it decide a transfer is delayed?

It compares each transfer's current status to its expected delivery window in Western Union, and only flags one once that window has passed.

Will I get repeat alerts for the same delayed transfer?

No. It checks hourly but only posts a new alert the hour a transfer is first flagged, not on every check after.
