Automated Amtrak Schedule Change Alerts
Every hour on travel days, WebRun checks Amtrak for the team's upcoming bookings, flags any delay, platform change, or cancellation, saves the updated ticket to Drive, and posts the change to Slack.
How do I get alerted when an Amtrak train I've booked is delayed?
WebRun checks your team's Amtrak bookings every hour, compares each one against its last known status, and posts a Slack alert the moment a delay, platform change, or cancellation happens. Updated tickets are archived to Google Drive automatically, so travelers and the office both see a change before it causes a scramble.
- Delays and platform changes reach the traveler within the hour
- The team always has the current ticket on file in Drive
- No one finds out about a schedule change by standing on the wrong platform
Built for Business travel coordinators · Executive assistants · Companies with regular rail travel · Office managers

Questions, answered
Will it rebook or cancel a trip for us?
No. WebRun only reads booking status and reports changes. Rebooking or canceling a trip is left to your team or the traveler.
How fast does it catch a delay?
It checks Amtrak at least once an hour on travel days, so a delay or platform change usually reaches Slack within the hour it happens.
Does it cover bookings made outside our company account?
It only reads bookings visible in the connected Amtrak account, so a trip booked separately by a traveler won't show up unless it's added to that account.
