In short

How do I follow up when soil test results run late?

Every morning, WebRun opens FieldX and finds soil samples past their expected lab turnaround with no results back. It drafts a polite follow-up email to each lab in Gmail listing the sample IDs and submission dates and leaves it unsent, so overdue tests get chased promptly and nothing is sent to a lab without your review.

  • Late soil tests get chased the morning they slip, not weeks on
  • Each follow-up lists the exact sample IDs and submission dates
  • You review and send, so nothing goes to a lab unchecked

Questions, answered

Will it email the lab without me?

No. WebRun writes each follow-up as a draft in Gmail and leaves it unsent. You read it and click send, so no message goes to a lab or partner without your approval first.

How does it know a test is overdue?

It compares each sample's submission date in FieldX against the lab's expected turnaround window and flags only batches now past it with no results returned, so you chase the genuinely late ones.

What if results arrive while it is drafting?

It reads the live status in FieldX each morning, so any batch whose results have returned is dropped from the follow-up and never chased unnecessarily.

Put this on autopilot.
