Automated Acorns Monthly Investment Digest

On the first Monday of each month, WebRun opens Acorns, reads the past month's round-up and recurring investment activity plus the current portfolio balance, texts you a short summary of what was actually invested, and saves the full monthly statement to Google Drive for your records.

In short

How do I get a monthly summary of my Acorns round-ups and investments?

WebRun reads your Acorns activity once a month, totaling round-ups and recurring investments that actually processed along with your current portfolio balance. It texts you a short summary through Twilio and saves the full statement to Google Drive, so you always know what was really invested without opening the app or setting anything up yourself.

  • You always know exactly how much was actually invested that month
  • A missed or failed recurring deposit becomes visible instead of silently assumed
  • A full statement archive builds in Drive with zero manual downloading

Built for micro-investors · new investors · Acorns users · budget-conscious savers

Questions, answered

Does WebRun set up or change my round-up or recurring investment settings?

No. WebRun only reads activity that already happened and reports on it. It never sets up, modifies, or cancels a recurring investment, and it never moves money into or out of your account.

What if a recurring deposit failed that month?

It reads whatever Acorns shows as actually processed, so a failed or skipped deposit simply will not appear in that month's invested total, making the gap visible rather than assumed.

Can I see more than the text summary?

Yes. The full monthly statement is saved to Google Drive, so you can open it any time for the complete list of round-ups and deposits.
