Automated Couchsurfing Request Chase List
Every morning, WebRun opens Couchsurfing, checks host and guest requests that have gone more than two days without a reply, lists each one in a Google Sheet with how long it has waited, and drafts a suggested response in Notion for you to review.
How do I stop Couchsurfing requests from going unanswered?
WebRun checks Couchsurfing every morning for host and guest requests waiting more than two days without a reply, lists each one in a Google Sheet with how long it has waited, and drafts a suggested response in Notion. It never sends a reply itself, so every message still goes out in your own words.
- No request sits unanswered past your 2 day window
- Aging requests are ranked so the oldest gets handled first
- Replies go out in your own words, drafted and ready to send

Questions, answered
Does WebRun send the reply on Couchsurfing itself?
No. It only drafts a suggested reply in Notion. Sending the actual message on Couchsurfing is always your decision.
How long does a request have to wait before it's flagged?
Anything past 2 days without a reply gets logged and drafted, so requests don't quietly go cold.
Does it handle both hosting and traveling requests?
Yes, it checks pending requests in both directions, whether you're the host being asked to stay with, or the traveler waiting on a host's answer.
