Automated Barnes and Noble Bulk Order Tracking

Every day, WebRun opens your Barnes & Noble order history, checks your bulk book order for a status change since the last run, saves the current order confirmation to a Google Drive folder, and sends a Twilio text the moment it ships or is ready for store pickup.

In short

How do I track a Barnes & Noble bulk book order until it arrives?

WebRun checks your Barnes & Noble bulk book order every day for a status change, files the current order confirmation in Google Drive, and sends a Twilio text the moment it ships or is ready for pickup. You find out the same day something changes, without checking the order page yourself.

  • Status changes are texted the same day they happen
  • Order confirmations are filed automatically for the record
  • Back ordered titles are visible without calling the store

Questions, answered

Will it place or change the order for me?

No. WebRun only tracks the status of an order you've already placed. It never places, changes, or cancels an order.

What if a title in the order is back ordered?

It's noted in the filed confirmation, so you can see exactly which title is holding up the rest of the order.

Do I get texted every day even if nothing changed?

No. A text only goes out the day the status actually changes. An order sitting unchanged doesn't generate a message.

Put this on autopilot.
