In short

How do I automatically prepare a show advance before load in?

WebRun opens Flex Rental Solutions every Monday, pulls the venue address, power requirements, load in time, and full gear list for every show that week, and cross checks the load in time against Google Calendar. It posts a complete show advance to your crew in Slack, so nobody arrives at a venue without the details they need.

  • Full show advance reaches crew days before load in, not the morning of
  • Missing venue contacts or power specs flagged before they become a problem
  • Load in time discrepancies caught before the truck leaves

Built for AV production managers · staging and lighting crews · touring production teams · event technical directors

Good to know

Questions, answered

Does it contact the venue directly for missing details?

No. It flags a missing venue contact or power spec in the Slack advance so your production manager can follow up. It never reaches out to a venue on its own.

What if the load in time in Flex Rental Solutions and the calendar don't match?

It flags the mismatch in the advance instead of guessing which one is correct, so your team can confirm the right time before the crew shows up.

How far ahead does it compile the advance?

It runs every Monday for the coming week, so crew and production leads have the full advance days before load in, not the morning of.
