Every Monday, WebRun opens Brainscape, checks each student's flashcard review streak, logs anyone whose streak lapsed in the past week to a Trello board, and drafts a WhatsApp nudge for each one.

In short

How do I chase students whose Brainscape study streak lapsed?

WebRun checks every student's Brainscape flashcard review streak each Monday and logs anyone whose streak lapsed in the past week to a Trello board. It drafts a WhatsApp nudge for each one, so a tutor can review and send it before a study habit is lost for good.

  • Lapsed streaks get caught every Monday, not weeks later
  • Tutors get a ready to send nudge for every student who stopped
  • The board updates automatically once a student resumes

Questions, answered

Will it message students without approval?

No. WebRun only drafts the nudge in WhatsApp. The tutor reviews and sends it, nothing reaches a student automatically.

What counts as a lapsed streak?

A review streak that was active last week and has stopped this week, based on the student's actual Brainscape activity.

Does it update once a student resumes?

Yes. It checks activity fresh each run, so a card moves to Restarted once the student picks their deck back up.

Put this on autopilot.
