Automated Australia Post Collection Chasing

Every morning, WebRun opens Australia Post tracking, finds parcels marked awaiting collection, works out how many days each has been sitting, queues a reminder text in Twilio for you to approve, and puts a card on your Trello board so nothing is returned to sender.

In short

How do I chase customers whose Australia Post parcel is waiting for collection?

WebRun checks your Australia Post tracking numbers every morning and finds parcels sitting at a post office awaiting collection. It queues a reminder text in Twilio for you to approve and opens a Trello card for each one, so uncollected parcels get chased before they are returned to sender.

  • Uncollected parcels get a reminder before the return window closes
  • Fewer parcels returned to sender and re-shipped at your cost
  • One Trello board shows every parcel still sitting at a post office

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it text my customers without asking?

No. Every reminder is queued in Twilio as a draft and waits for your approval. WebRun writes the message and lines up the number, but a human presses send.

How does it know a parcel is still uncollected?

It reads the live tracking status on Australia Post every morning, so any parcel collected overnight drops off the board and gets no reminder.

Can it warn me before a parcel is returned to sender?

Yes. WebRun counts the days since the parcel arrived at the collection point and moves anything close to your return window into an Urgent list in Trello.

Put this on autopilot.
