Automated Sintel Holiday Pickup Reminders

Every morning during a holiday rush, WebRun opens Sintel Systems, finds preorders due for pickup that day, drafts a friendly reminder by text in Twilio or email in Gmail depending on what the customer has on file, and leaves every draft queued for staff to review before it sends.

In short

How do I remind customers to pick up holiday preorders?

WebRun reminds holiday preorder customers to pick up without sending anything on its own. Each morning it finds Sintel Systems preorders due that day, drafts a short reminder by text in Twilio or email in Gmail depending on the contact on file, and leaves every message queued for staff to review, so no customer forgets and nothing goes out unapproved.

  • Preorder customers get a same day reminder without staff typing one
  • No text or email goes out without a staff review first
  • Customers who already picked up are skipped automatically

Built for candy shops · chocolatiers · holiday gift retailers · confectionery shops with preorders

Questions, answered

Will it text or email customers without approval?

No. Every reminder is drafted and queued, whether by text in Twilio or email in Gmail. Staff review and send each one. Nothing goes out on its own.

How does it decide text versus email?

It uses whichever contact method the customer has on file in Sintel Systems. Give a customer both and WebRun defaults to text for same day reminders.

What if a customer already picked up their order?

It reads the live pickup status in Sintel Systems each morning, so anyone already marked picked up is skipped automatically.

Put this on autopilot.
