Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it thank supporters on my behalf?

No. WebRun only summarizes who supported you. Thanking them, publicly or directly, is still something you do yourself.

How does it know which tiers have a perk to fulfill?

You tell it which tiers include something you need to send or do. It only reminds you about those, not every signup.

What if I get a lot of support in one day?

The WhatsApp summary groups everyone together instead of sending a separate message per supporter, so a busy day doesn't flood your phone.

Put this on autopilot.
