Questions, answered

Will it send a reply to a new lead automatically?

No. Every first-response email is saved as a Gmail draft. Your team reviews and clicks Send manually, so no message reaches a lead without a human approving it.

How quickly will my team see the new lead alert?

WebRun checks for new leads every 5 minutes and posts an instant Slack alert. Your team can typically review the draft and send a reply within minutes of the inquiry arriving.

What if the same lead comes in through multiple channels?

It checks the lead ID and contact details in Housecall Pro to avoid creating duplicate drafts for the same inquiry. Each unique lead gets one first-response draft.
