Questions, answered
Will it chase my clients for me?
No. WebRun only posts an internal list to Slack and WhatsApp. Any nudge to a 99designs client is written and sent by you, so the client relationship stays in your hands.
How does it know which invoice to worry about first?
It ranks by age, so the oldest unpaid invoice sits at the top, with the amount next to it. Large balances are called out in the same line.
What happens when a client finally pays?
It reads the live payment status in 99designs every Monday, so anything settled during the week simply drops off the next list.
