Questions, answered
Will it contact the franchisee directly?
No. WebRun only posts an internal Slack summary and updates your Google Sheets tracker. Any external welcome message to the franchisee is drafted for your team to review and send.
What if the onboarding template changes?
It reads the active project template in FranConnect each time it runs, so any updates you make to the template are automatically reflected in the next onboarding kickoff.
Can it handle multiple franchise concepts?
Yes. It reads the concept field on the franchisee record and applies the matching onboarding template, so multi-concept franchisors get the right checklist every time.
