In short

How do I notify customers when their special order pen arrives?

WebRun checks MicroBiz every hour for special order pens marked received, then drafts a friendly pickup email naming the item and order number for each customer in Gmail, leaving it unsent for you to review. It also posts a Slack list of who is ready for pickup and flags any order waiting more than 5 days.

  • Customers hear about a special order the same hour it arrives
  • Every pickup email is drafted and ready, never sent unreviewed
  • Orders sitting more than 5 days get flagged before customers forget

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will WebRun email my customers without me checking first?

No. It drafts the pickup email in Gmail and leaves it unsent. Nothing reaches a customer until you or your staff reviews the draft and hits send.

How does it know an order just arrived?

It reads the special order status you mark as received in MicroBiz each time a shipment comes in, then drafts the pickup email within the hour.

What if a customer was already notified?

It skips any order already flagged as customer notified in MicroBiz, so nobody gets a duplicate pickup email.

Put this on autopilot.
