How do I automatically notify preorder customers when their variant cover arrives?
Every Wednesday, WebRun opens Nerdslice, finds variant-cover preorders received this week, and matches each copy to the customer who reserved it. It drafts a personal arrival email in Mailchimp and a short pickup text in Twilio, then leaves both unsent for your approval, so customers hear their variant arrived without anything sending on its own.
- Preorder customers hear their variant arrived the day it lands
- Both email and text drafts are prepared in one pass
- No arrival message sends without a human approving the batch

Questions, answered
Will it text or email customers without my approval?
No. WebRun drafts the emails in Mailchimp and queues the texts in Twilio, all unsent. You review and release each batch yourself, so no arrival message reaches a customer automatically.
How does it match a variant to the right customer?
It reads the preorder and reservation records in Nerdslice and matches each received copy to the customer who reserved that exact variant, so the right person hears about the right cover.
What if a customer already picked up their copy?
Reservations marked collected in Nerdslice are skipped, so an approved arrival message only ever goes to customers whose variant is genuinely still being held at the counter.
