Questions, answered
Will it read anything else in my Gmail?
No. It only searches for Costco order confirmation emails. Nothing else in your inbox is opened or logged.
Does it categorize the expense for me?
It logs the raw items and total. Your bookkeeper still assigns the expense category, WebRun just makes sure nothing is missing from the log.
What if an order is canceled or refunded?
It records what Costco shows at the time of the run. If a refund shows up later, that's a separate entry your bookkeeper reconciles against the original row.
