Questions, answered
Will it email my customers without my approval?
No. Every recovery email is saved as a Gmail draft. You review and send - nothing leaves your inbox automatically.
What about payments Stripe is already retrying?
WebRun notes the next retry date and can skip drafting emails for those, so you only act on payments with no automatic recovery scheduled.
What does the recovery email say?
A brief, empathetic message with the amount owed and a link for the customer to update their payment method. You can give WebRun a template to follow.
