Questions, answered
Will it send quote requests to vendors automatically?
No. Every quote request is saved as a Gmail draft for your review. WebRun never contacts a vendor on your behalf without your explicit approval.
How does it know which products need a quote?
It looks for products in your DesignFiles project spec sheets or library that are tagged or noted as needing a trade price. You can use a consistent tag or note style and WebRun will pick it up.
Can it group multiple items from the same vendor into one email?
Yes. When multiple products in the same project come from the same vendor, WebRun groups them into a single draft email so you do not flood a vendor with separate requests.
