Questions, answered
Will it send texts to students without my approval?
No. WebRun drafts every reminder in Twilio and leaves it unsent. A staff member reviews the queue and approves each message before any text reaches a student.
How far in advance does it prepare the reminders?
Each morning it looks ahead 24 hours, so lessons booked for the following day get their draft reminder prepared the morning before, giving your team time to review and send.
What happens if a student cancels after the draft is prepared?
WebRun reads live appointment data from Acuity Scheduling each morning. Cancellations processed before the daily run are skipped. Staff should check the Twilio queue against Acuity before approving.
