In short

How do I get alerted when an email send starts bouncing?

WebRun checks your Acoustic send reports every hour, reading bounce and opt-out rates for mailings that went out recently and comparing them against your normal range for that list. It posts a Slack alert and drafts a Gmail brief when a rate climbs, so a bad send is caught while it is still going.

  • A bad list is caught hours into a send, not days after
  • Every alert names the rate now and the baseline it broke
  • Pausing a send stays a human decision

Questions, answered

Will it pause a mailing on its own?

No. WebRun alerts your Slack channel and drafts a Gmail brief. Pausing a send, suppressing a segment or editing a mailing stays a manual decision inside Acoustic.

How does it know a rate is abnormal?

It compares each mailing's bounce and opt-out rate against the baseline range you set for that list, so a list that always runs slightly high does not trigger a false alarm.

Does it email contacts or change my list?

No. WebRun reads send reports only. It never mails a contact, never removes anyone from the contact database and never alters a suppression list.

Put this on autopilot.
