How do I track my Chegg textbook rental due dates?

WebRun checks your Chegg textbook rentals every morning for due dates and extension or buyout costs, logs each one to Google Sheets, and adds a Notion reminder card for anything due within a week, so you always know what to return and when before a late fee gets charged.

  • No rental due date is missed or forgotten
  • Extension and buyout costs are visible before the deadline
  • Returned books clear off the checklist automatically

Questions, answered

Will it return or extend a rental for me?

No. It only tracks due dates and costs. Returning, extending, or buying out a rental is always your own action on Chegg.

How far ahead does it warn me?

It flags any rental due within 7 days, so you have a full week's notice before a late fee could apply.

What happens after I return a book?

It reads your live rental list in Chegg each morning, so a returned book's card is cleared from Notion automatically.

Put this on autopilot.
