Automated Cengage Access Code Reconciliation
Every Monday, WebRun opens Cengage, checks courseware access code redemption for every student on your roster, logs redeemed versus pending status to Google Sheets, and keeps a Notion follow-up list of students who still don't have access to course materials.
How do I track which students have redeemed their Cengage access codes?
WebRun checks Cengage every Monday for courseware access code redemption across your roster, logs redeemed versus pending status to Google Sheets, and keeps a Notion follow-up list of students still without access as their trial nears expiry, so nobody loses course materials mid-term for a code that was never entered.
- Students without access get flagged before their trial expires
- Redemption status is reconciled weekly without manual checking
- Instructors see one follow-up list instead of the raw roster
Built for college instructors · campus bookstore coordinators · academic department administrators · online course managers

Secure by default
Connect once, stays signed in
WebRun signs in once and keeps each session in a persistent environment, so every run picks up right where it left off.
Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Will it purchase or issue an access code?
No. It only reads redemption status and reports it. Purchasing or issuing a courseware code is always handled by the student or your bookstore.
Does it contact students without access?
No. It only updates your internal Google Sheets and Notion. WebRun never emails a student directly.
What happens once a student redeems their code?
It reads the live roster in Cengage each Monday, so a student who's redeemed is cleared from the follow-up list automatically.
