Questions, answered
Does this automatically close bookings when a date is full?
No. WebRun alerts your team when a date is nearing capacity in Slack, but closing bookings or pausing the preorder form is always a manual decision for you to make.
What capacity threshold triggers the alert?
By default, WebRun alerts when a date reaches 80% of your set capacity, giving you time to act before the date is fully booked. You can adjust this threshold when setting up the workflow.
Can it handle different capacity limits for different days?
Yes. You can set different daily capacity limits in the Google Sheets tracker for weekdays, weekends, and specific holiday dates, and WebRun will compare each day's total against its individual limit.
