Questions, answered
Will it send the payment reminder to the customer automatically?
No. WebRun saves each reminder as a Gmail draft and alerts staff in Slack. A team member must review and send it before the customer sees anything.
What details does the reminder include?
The item on layaway, the amount due, the due date, and your payment methods, all pulled from the customer's record in Lightspeed Retail.
Does it handle accounts that are already overdue?
Yes. Overdue accounts are flagged separately in the Slack list and appear at the top so staff can prioritise those conversations first.
