Keep every kiln firing on schedule
Every night, WebRun opens Punchpass to see which classes ran that day and which studio rooms are booked tomorrow, cross-checks the firing log in Google Sheets for pieces waiting on a bisque or glaze firing, and posts instructors a reminder in Slack so the kiln gets loaded and started on time.

How do I automatically remind my studio to keep kiln firings on schedule?
WebRun checks Punchpass every night for tomorrow's class and room bookings, cross-references the studio's firing log in Google Sheets to see which pieces are waiting on a bisque or glaze firing, and posts instructors a Slack reminder with the shelf count and target load time, so no finished piece sits waiting and no firing collides with a scheduled class.
- No finished piece waits more than a week for its firing
- Kiln loads never collide with a scheduled class
- Instructors start each day knowing exactly what's due to fire
Built for ceramics studios · pottery instructors · clay studio managers · art studio owners

Questions, answered
Does it control the kiln itself?
No. It only reads your Punchpass schedule and Sheets firing log, then reminds staff in Slack. Loading and starting the kiln is always done by a person.
How does it know what's ready to fire?
It reads the firing log you keep in Google Sheets, so it only flags shelves your team has already marked ready for bisque or glaze.
Will it catch a scheduling conflict?
Yes. It checks Punchpass for the next day's room and class bookings, so it can flag a firing window that overlaps a scheduled class.
