Automated Chaport Unanswered Chat Follow-Up

Each morning, WebRun opens Chaport, finds conversations and offline messages left without an agent reply, drafts a personal follow-up email in Gmail for every visitor who left an address, and posts the outstanding queue to Slack for the team.

In short

How do I follow up on live chat messages nobody answered overnight?

WebRun opens Chaport every morning, finds chats and offline messages that nobody answered in the last 24 hours, drafts a personal Gmail reply for each visitor who left an address, and posts the outstanding queue to Slack in priority order. Drafts wait for your approval before anything is sent.

  • Overnight questions get a human reply the same morning
  • Every reachable visitor has a draft waiting, so replying takes seconds
  • Nothing goes out to a visitor without a person approving it

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it email visitors without my approval?

No. Every follow-up is left as a Gmail draft for a human to read and send. WebRun writes the reply, you decide whether it goes out, so nothing reaches a visitor unreviewed.

Does it reply inside the chat widget?

No. WebRun only reads Chaport conversations. It never types into a live chat, never sends a canned response, and never appears to a visitor as an agent.

What about visitors who left no email?

They are listed separately in the Slack post with the page they were on and what they asked, so an agent can recognise them if they come back rather than losing the question entirely.

Put this on autopilot.
