Launch new products on shelf without missing a step
When you trigger a new product launch, WebRun reads the item details from ECRS CATAPULT, verifies the item record is complete (price, PLU, department, vendor), builds a step-by-step launch checklist in Google Sheets, and posts a Slack message to the department manager to begin the process.

Questions, answered
Will it activate the new item for sale in CATAPULT automatically?
No. WebRun reads and verifies the item record but does not activate or publish it. The department manager confirms all checklist steps before the item goes live.
What if the item record has missing fields in CATAPULT?
WebRun flags the missing fields in the checklist and in the Slack message so the team can complete the record before the product reaches the shelf.
Can it handle launching multiple new items at once?
Yes. You can trigger the workflow with a list of PLUs or UPCs and WebRun builds a separate checklist row for each item in one pass.
