Automated 99designs Contest Deadline Tracking
Every morning, WebRun opens your 99designs client dashboard, reads the entry count and days remaining on each active contest, logs new submissions to Google Sheets, and emails you through Gmail when a contest's deadline is within 48 hours.
How do I keep track of my 99designs contest entries and deadlines?

Questions, answered
Does it pick or announce a contest winner?
No. WebRun only tracks entries and deadlines. Choosing and awarding a winner is always your decision, made directly in 99designs.
How early will I hear about a closing deadline?
You get a Gmail reminder as soon as a contest is within 48 hours of closing, with the current entry count included.
Can I track more than one contest at a time?
Yes. Every active contest gets its own row in Google Sheets, so you can compare entry counts and deadlines across all of them at once.
