Questions, answered
What if a driver's phone number is missing or wrong in Encompass?
WebRun logs that driver's SMS as failed and flags it in the Slack dispatch summary so the logistics team can call the driver directly before their route departs.
What if a route is not yet finalized when the run starts?
WebRun only sends confirmations for routes marked as finalized in Encompass. Unfinalized routes are listed in the Slack summary as pending so dispatch knows to finalize and follow up manually.
Can the SMS message include more than one stop's address?
The default message includes only the first stop to stay within 160 characters for reliable single-part delivery. For multi-stop details, the Slack summary includes the full stop count and route context.
