Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it email AMCs or lenders without my approval?

No. WebRun saves every status update as a Gmail draft and flags it in Slack for your review. No email reaches a client until you approve and send it, so you stay in full control of external communications.

How does it know when a status has changed?

It reads the current stage for each order in ACI each morning and compares it to the status from the previous run. Only orders that have advanced get a draft update, so you are not flooded with redundant emails.

Can it handle multiple AMC clients with different update preferences?

Yes. WebRun reads the client information from each ACI order and addresses each draft to the correct contact, so different AMCs receive their own update rather than a generic group email.

Put this on autopilot.
