Run weather-triggered promos with one approval
Every morning, WebRun checks your weather-trigger conditions logged in Google Sheets, and when rain is forecast or a recent weather event qualifies, it drafts a targeted promo email in Mailchimp and notes the campaign details in the sheet, then posts the draft to Slack for your team to review and approve before any message reaches a customer.

How do I run automatic rain-guarantee promotions at my car wash?
WebRun checks your weather-trigger conditions in Google Sheets every morning and, when rain qualifies, drafts a timely promo email in Mailchimp with a relevant offer for your members and recent customers. Every draft is left unsent and posted to Slack for team approval, so your team captures the weather moment without risking an unsanctioned send.
- Weather promo drafts are ready within hours of a rain event, without anyone monitoring forecasts
- A 7-day cooldown prevents over-sending to the same customer list
- No weather promo reaches a customer without a team member approving it first
Built for car wash operators · marketing managers · franchise owners

Questions, answered
Will it send the promo email to customers automatically when it rains?
No. Every weather promo is drafted in Mailchimp and left completely unsent. WebRun posts the draft link to Slack for your team to review the offer and approve before any email reaches a customer.
How does it decide when a weather trigger is met?
You define the qualifying conditions in your Google Sheet, such as rain in the past 24 hours or rain forecast in the next 48 hours. WebRun checks that column each morning and only drafts a campaign when a condition is met.
What stops it from sending a promo every rainy day?
WebRun logs each promo event in the sheet and enforces a 7-day cooldown per location, so customers are not hit with a weather offer every time there is light drizzle.
