In short

How do I hand off failed Recurly renewals to my billing team?

WebRun checks Recurly every morning for subscriptions stuck in dunning after a failed renewal, notes how many retry attempts remain, and schedules a Google Calendar follow up for accounts nearing their final retry. It hands the list to your billing Teams channel ordered by urgency, but never emails a customer directly itself.

  • Accounts closest to churning get surfaced first
  • Your billing team gets a daily handoff instead of digging
  • Follow ups get scheduled before the final retry attempt

Questions, answered

Will WebRun email the customer to update their card?

No. WebRun only reads the dunning status and hands the list to your billing team. Contacting the customer directly stays a human step, usually through Recurly's own dunning emails or your team.

What counts as close to cancellation?

An account nearing its final scheduled retry attempt before Recurly stops trying and the subscription lapses.

Does this replace Recurly's own dunning emails?

No. Recurly's automated retries and emails keep running as configured. This just makes sure your billing team sees the accounts closest to actually churning.
