In short

How do I reschedule surf lessons automatically when the forecast goes flat?

Each afternoon, WebRun reads the Surfline forecast for your break and matches it against tomorrow's WaveRez lessons. When the surf is forecast too flat to teach, it drafts reschedule-offer emails with alternative slots in Gmail, leaves them unsent for your approval, and flags the affected lessons in Slack, so guests never show up to no waves.

  • Guests are offered a reschedule before they show up to flat surf
  • Lessons move to days with teachable waves, protecting reviews
  • Managers approve drafts instead of scrambling the morning of

Questions, answered

Will it move bookings or email guests on its own?

No. WebRun drafts the reschedule emails and lists candidate slots, but every email stays unsent and no booking is moved until you approve it. The guest is only contacted after a human confirms.

How does it decide the surf is too flat to teach?

It reads the Surfline swell, wind, and rating for your break and compares them against the minimum teachable size you set, so only lessons in genuinely flat windows get flagged.

What if the forecast improves later?

It rereads the Surfline forecast on each run, so if a window that looked flat firms up, those lessons drop off the reschedule list before anything is sent.

Put this on autopilot.
