In short

How do I automatically remind church event registrants about upcoming events?

Every morning, WebRun checks Planning Center for events happening in the next 72 hours, finds every registrant, and drafts a personalized reminder email for each attendee for coordinator review. Coordinators also get a current RSVP count in Slack, so no registered attendee is ever forgotten and no coordinator is ever caught off guard.

  • Every registered attendee gets a timely, personalized reminder reviewed by a coordinator before it sends
  • Coordinators see current RSVP counts and flagged issues in Slack each morning
  • Registrants with outstanding balances are flagged before the event so coordinators can follow up

Questions, answered

Will it send reminders to attendees automatically?

No. Every reminder is drafted and held in Gmail for an event coordinator to review before sending. This ensures the message tone, event details, and any special instructions are correct before anyone is contacted.

Can it handle reminders for multiple events or classes on the same day?

Yes. WebRun processes all upcoming events simultaneously and organizes reminders by event so each coordinator sees only the drafts relevant to their event.

What if someone cancels their registration after the reminders are drafted?

WebRun checks Planning Center for the current registration list each morning. If someone cancelled overnight, their reminder draft is removed from the queue before the coordinator reviews it.

Put this on autopilot.
