In short

How do I stay on top of my eDesk marketplace message backlog?

Questions, answered

Does WebRun reply to marketplace messages itself?

No. It only counts the backlog and reports it. Every reply to a buyer, on any marketplace, is still written and sent by your own team in eDesk.

How is the focus-time block sized?

It scales with the total number of messages awaiting reply that morning across all connected marketplaces, so a bigger backlog gets a longer block.

Which marketplaces does it check?

Every marketplace and channel you have connected to eDesk. It reports each one's backlog separately so the team knows where to start.
