Questions, answered

Will it send texts to owners without my approval?

No. WebRun drafts every reminder and posts the queue to Slack for your team to review first. No text is sent until a staff member approves and triggers the send.

What does the reminder message include?

Each draft includes the pet's name, the check-in date and time, and a short what-to-bring list covering vaccination records, food, medications, and comfort items. You can edit any draft before approving.

What happens if a reservation is cancelled the same morning?

WebRun reads live Gingr data each morning, so cancelled reservations are not included. Only active upcoming check-ins appear in the draft queue.

Put this on autopilot.
