Questions, answered
Will it update estimate prices in JobNimbus automatically?
No. WebRun surfaces the price changes in Google Sheets and flags the affected estimates in JobNimbus, but your team reviews and decides whether to reprice each quote before it is sent.
Which suppliers does it monitor?
It searches Gmail for emails from any supplier domain you specify during setup, so it only reads messages from the vendors you actually buy materials from.
What if a supplier sends a price list as a PDF attachment?
WebRun can read the email subject and body text to flag price change notices. For suppliers who send PDFs only, your team will need to check those attachments manually and update the Google Sheets tracker.
