How do I automatically draft a weekly parent update email for camp?
WebRun opens CampMinder every Monday, gathers the week's session highlights, activity schedule, and announcements, then drafts a warm parent update email in Gmail. It notifies your director in Slack so they can review, personalize, and send the update before the week begins. No email reaches parents without director approval.
- Parents receive a consistent weekly update without the director writing it from scratch
- Director spends minutes reviewing a draft rather than hours composing one
- No parent update is sent without director review and personalization

Questions, answered
Will it send the parent update without the director reviewing it?
No. The email is saved as a Gmail draft and the director is notified in Slack. No parent communication goes out until your director reviews, personalizes, and sends it.
Can the director edit the draft before sending?
Yes. The draft lives in Gmail just like any email they wrote themselves. The director can add personal notes, photos, or any changes before hitting send.
Does it share any individual camper health or behavioral details with parents?
No. WebRun only includes general session highlights and announcements from CampMinder. Individual camper records are never shared in the group parent update.
