Automated Alison Study Streak Reminders

Every night, WebRun signs into Alison, reads the courses you have in progress and the module you left half finished, checks whether today counted toward your streak, drafts tomorrow's study plan in Gmail, and sends you one short WhatsApp nudge naming what to open next.

In short

How do I keep an online course streak going instead of abandoning it?

Every night WebRun signs into Alison, checks which courses you have in progress and where you stopped, and works out whether today's study kept your streak alive. It drafts tomorrow's plan in Gmail and sends one WhatsApp nudge naming the exact module to open next.

  • One nightly nudge names the exact next module
  • The course closest to finishing gets priority
  • A half-finished diploma actually gets finished

Questions, answered

Does it take my courses or assessments for me?

No. WebRun only reads your progress and reminds you. It never opens a module on your behalf, answers an assessment, or marks anything complete.

Will it email anyone about my studying?

No. The study plan is left as a draft in your own Gmail and the nudge goes to you on WhatsApp. Nothing is sent to an employer, a tutor, or anyone else.

What if I already studied today?

It says so and keeps the message short, confirming the streak held and naming tomorrow's module instead of nagging you to start again tonight.

Put this on autopilot.
