In short

How do I remind students about upcoming college application deadlines?

WebRun reads every student's application deadlines in CounselMore each morning, finds the ones due within seven days, and drafts a friendly per-student reminder in Gmail listing each college, deadline, and open task. It leaves the drafts unsent for you to review, so students stay ahead of their deadlines without anything going out unapproved.

  • Students hear about looming deadlines with days to spare
  • Reminders are personal and list exactly what is due
  • Already-submitted applications are skipped from live CounselMore status

Built for independent educational consultants · college admissions consultants · high school counselors

Questions, answered

Will it email students without me?

No. WebRun drafts each deadline reminder in Gmail and leaves it unsent. You review the list, adjust anything, and send it yourself, so nothing goes to a student or parent on its own.

How far ahead does it look for deadlines?

It flags anything due in the next seven days by default, read live from each student's application tracker in CounselMore. Ask for a longer or shorter window and it adjusts.

What if a deadline has already been met?

It reads the live status in CounselMore each morning, so applications already marked submitted are skipped and the student is not nagged.

Put this on autopilot.
