Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it send reminder emails without my approval?

Never. Every reminder is saved as a Gmail draft. You read, edit if needed, and send - nothing goes to a client without your sign-off.

How do I set the threshold for 'overdue'?

You tell WebRun how many business days to wait before flagging an envelope - 3, 5, or 10 days. You can set different thresholds for different document types.

What if someone signed overnight?

WebRun reads live DocuSign status each morning, so anyone who signed since the last run is automatically excluded from the chase list.

Put this on autopilot.
