In short

How do I onboard new team members onto a language course?

Every Monday WebRun checks each new learner's Babbel account is on the right course and level, records their start date, target and progress in Airtable, and builds a Notion onboarding page with their first four weeks of lessons. It flags anyone whose setup is still incomplete.

  • Nobody sits on the wrong course for a month before anyone notices
  • Every learner has a four week plan on day one
  • Managers see who has not started while it is still early

Questions, answered

Will it email learners who have not started?

No. WebRun writes an internal Notion roll-up and links each learner to their manager. Any nudge to the person is sent by their manager, not by WebRun.

Does it change anyone's Babbel course or level?

No. It reads the setup and flags a mismatch against what was requested. Changing a learner's course or level stays a human decision in Babbel.

What if someone was already onboarded last week?

They are skipped. WebRun checks the Airtable base first and only builds a plan for learners without one, updating progress on everyone else.

Put this on autopilot.
