In short

How do I automatically send reservation confirmations with pre-arrival info to storage prospects?

When a new reservation is created in Stora, WebRun reads the booking details and drafts a personalised confirmation email in Gmail with pre-arrival instructions, facility access hours, and move-in requirements. It posts a Slack note to staff so no reservation is left unconfirmed. Nothing is sent until a staff member approves the draft.

  • Every new reservation has a personalised confirmation draft ready within minutes
  • Staff are alerted in Slack so no reservation goes unconfirmed
  • Pre-arrival details are consistent and reviewed before reaching every prospect

Questions, answered

Will the confirmation email be sent to the prospect automatically?

No. WebRun drafts the confirmation and leaves it in your Gmail Drafts folder. A staff member must review the pre-arrival details and send it manually.

What pre-arrival information is included in the draft?

The draft includes the reserved unit size, move-in date, facility address, access hours, what to bring on move-in day, and the reservation expiry window. Staff can edit any detail before sending.

What happens if the reservation expires before the confirmation is sent?

WebRun includes the reservation expiry date in the Slack alert, prompting staff to review and send the draft within the hold window so the prospect has time to act.
