Have every new joiner VPN-ready before day one
Every morning, WebRun signs into your NordVPN account, lists assigned and free seats, matches them against the starters on your Trello onboarding board, ticks the VPN step on cards that are covered, and updates the readiness list in Notion with anyone still unassigned.

How do I make sure new starters have VPN access on day one?
WebRun checks every morning that your upcoming starters will have a VPN on day one. It reads assigned and pending NordVPN seats, matches them to the starters on your Trello onboarding board, ticks the cards that are covered, and lists anyone still unassigned in Notion with the free seat count.
- Nobody starts without VPN access because the check runs daily
- Seat shortfalls appear before the first day, not on it
- No invite is sent and no plan changed without an admin
Built for IT administrators · people operations · remote-first teams · security teams

Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Will it invite people or buy extra seats?
No. WebRun reads your NordVPN members list and reports what is missing. It never sends an invite, never removes a member, never changes the plan, and never enters payment details. Buying seats stays a human decision.
How does it match a starter to a seat?
By the work email address on the Trello onboarding card against the member list in your NordVPN account, so a card is only ticked when that exact person genuinely holds a seat.
What if there are more starters than free seats?
The Notion readiness page shows the shortfall in plain numbers alongside the plan renewal date, so you can add seats before someone's first day rather than on it.
