Automated Pull-List Subscriber Winback
Every Monday, WebRun opens Nerdslice, finds pull-list subscribers whose boxes have gone uncollected for weeks, logs each lapsed subscriber to Google Sheets with the value piling up on hold, and drafts a friendly winback email in Mailchimp that you review before it goes out.
How do I automatically win back lapsed comic pull-list subscribers?
Every Monday, WebRun opens Nerdslice and finds pull-list subscribers whose boxes have gone uncollected past your lapse threshold. It logs each one to Google Sheets with the titles and value piling up, then drafts a warm winback email in Mailchimp for your approval, so lapsed subscribers get a personal nudge without anything sending unreviewed.
- Uncollected boxes are surfaced every week before they pile up further
- Winback list is ranked by dollar value at risk automatically
- No subscriber email leaves without a human approving the batch
Built for comic shop owners · subscription managers · pull-list coordinators · retention marketers

Questions, answered
Will it email lapsed subscribers without my approval?
No. WebRun drafts every winback email in Mailchimp and leaves it unsent. You review the tone and any offer, then send the batch yourself, so no subscriber is contacted automatically.
How does it decide who counts as lapsed?
You set the lapse threshold in weeks, and WebRun flags any subscriber in Nerdslice whose box has gone uncollected longer than that, so the definition of lapsed always matches your policy.
What if a subscriber comes back and collects their box?
It reads the live pickup status in Nerdslice each Monday, so anyone who has resumed collecting drops off the winback worklist automatically before any email is approved.
