Questions, answered
Does it cover all shipment modes?
Yes. WebRun pulls milestone updates from Flexport regardless of transport mode, including ocean, air, truck, and rail shipments tracked on the platform.
Will it alert us outside of the morning digest for critical events?
The standard run posts once each morning. For real-time customs exam or hold alerts, use the dedicated customs-exam-hold-alerts template, which runs more frequently and flags those events immediately.
How far back does it look for milestone updates?
Each morning run captures milestones updated in the last 24 hours, so no event is double-counted or missed between daily runs.
