Questions, answered
Will it chase clients for payment?
No. WebRun builds the receivables picture and posts it internally. It never messages a client, sends a reminder, or requests a payment on Contra. Chasing stays a message you write yourself.
Does it change anything in Contra?
No. WebRun reads projects and milestones only. It never marks a milestone complete, requests a release of funds, edits a rate, or changes a project's terms.
What if a client edits a milestone?
The record updates on the next run. WebRun upserts on the project and milestone title, so a changed amount or date overwrites the old value rather than creating a duplicate line in your receivables.
