In short

How do I automatically chase franchise candidates for outstanding FDD acknowledgment signatures?

Every Monday, WebRun checks FranConnect for franchise candidates who received their FDD more than five days ago without a logged acknowledgment, verifies the DocuSign envelope status for each, and drafts a follow-up email per candidate in Gmail for your development team to review. No message goes to a candidate without human approval.

  • No FDD disclosure goes unacknowledged for more than a week without a follow-up drafted
  • Development team sees the DocuSign envelope status for each candidate so they know exactly where things stand
  • Candidates who already signed in DocuSign are never sent a duplicate follow-up

Questions, answered

Will it contact franchise candidates about their FDD automatically?

No. Every follow-up email is drafted in Gmail and left unsent. Your development team reviews and approves each draft before any message goes to a candidate.

How does it know if a candidate has already acknowledged receipt in DocuSign?

It checks the live status of the DocuSign envelope for each candidate. If the envelope shows as signed or completed, that candidate is automatically excluded from the follow-up draft list.

What if the candidate received the FDD by mail instead of DocuSign?

It flags candidates based on their FranConnect record status. If your team logs manual receipt acknowledgments in FranConnect, those candidates will be excluded from the chase list automatically.
