Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it contact prospects without my buying team seeing the message?

No - every email is a Gmail draft. The buying team reviews the Slack list and sends each one themselves.

What if the prospect's appraisal has already expired?

WebRun checks the appraisal date and your standard offer-validity window - expired appraisals are flagged separately so you can decide whether to re-appraise.

Can it follow up on appraisals done at a different site or via an online tool?

Yes - if those appraisals are logged in DealerSocket (or a system you connect), WebRun will include them in the daily scan.

Put this on autopilot.
