How do I keep training requesters updated on their project status?
WebRun watches Cognota each morning for projects that advanced a stage and drafts a plain-language update email in Gmail for the original requester, explaining what moved and what happens next. It skips internal-only changes and leaves every message unsent for your approval, so stakeholders stay informed without you writing each note by hand.
- Requesters hear about real progress instead of chasing you for it
- Every update waits as a draft for your approval before it sends
- Trivial internal stage moves never reach a stakeholder's inbox

Questions, answered
Will it email requesters without me?
No. Every status update is saved as a Gmail draft and left unsent. You review each one and send it yourself, so no stakeholder hears from you on a change you have not approved.
Will requesters get a note for every tiny change?
No. It skips internal-only stage moves and drafts an update only when the change is one a requester would actually care about, so people are kept informed without being flooded.
How does it know who the requester is?
It reads the original requester linked to each project in Cognota, so the update goes to the person who asked for the training, addressed by name from their intake record.
