In short

How do I automatically follow up with catering platter customers?

WebRun follows up on your catering platters every morning. It reads completed platter orders in ShelfPerks, confirms the pickup against Google Calendar, and drafts each customer a warm thank-you and feedback note in Gmail. Every email is left unsent for you to review and send, so the outreach stays personal and in your control.

  • Every catering customer gets a personal thank-you within a day of pickup
  • Drafts are personalized to the exact platter, ready in minutes
  • No email leaves without your review, so the tone stays yours

Questions, answered

Will it email catering customers without me?

No. WebRun writes each follow-up as a Gmail draft and leaves it unsent. You read every message and send it yourself, so nothing reaches a customer without your approval.

How does it know the platter was actually collected?

It cross-checks the ShelfPerks order status against the pickup event in your Google Calendar. If the pickup is still in the future, it holds the order and drafts nothing until collection has passed.

Can it match my shop's tone?

Yes. Give WebRun a sample email or a few words on your voice and it mirrors that tone in every draft, referencing the exact platter each customer ordered so the note never feels generic.

Put this on autopilot.
