In short

How do I notify customers when their special order knife arrives?

Every morning, WebRun checks RetailEdge for special order knives marked received overnight, matches each to the customer who ordered it, and drafts a friendly arrival notice in Gmail with the pickup window. Staff review and send each draft themselves, and a Telegram message flags any customer who has waited more than two weeks.

  • Customers get an arrival draft the same morning their knife is received
  • Long waiting customers get flagged automatically
  • No arrival notice goes out without a staff review

Questions, answered

Will the customer be emailed automatically?

No. Every arrival notice is left as a Gmail draft. A staff member reviews and sends it, WebRun never emails a customer on its own.

How does it match a knife to the right customer?

It reads the special order record in RetailEdge, which ties each ordered knife to the customer who placed it.

What if a customer has been waiting a long time?

It flags anyone waiting more than 2 weeks in the Telegram message to staff, so a delayed order gets priority attention.
