Automated Course Hero Tutor Queue Digests

Every hour, WebRun opens Course Hero, checks for new tutoring questions and document uploads waiting in the queue, posts a digest to your Slack workspace, and mirrors any question flagged time-sensitive to a Telegram channel for on-call tutors.

In short

How do I keep my Course Hero tutoring queue from backing up?

WebRun checks the Course Hero tutoring queue every hour for new questions and document uploads, posts a digest to Slack for your tutoring team, and mirrors anything waiting over 30 minutes to a Telegram channel for on-call tutors, so questions get picked up quickly without anyone refreshing the dashboard.

  • Tutors see the queue hourly instead of refreshing the dashboard
  • Time-sensitive questions reach an on-call tutor within the hour
  • Quiet hours don't clutter Slack with empty digests

Good to know

Questions, answered

Does it answer student questions on its own?

No. It only reports what's waiting in the queue. Every answer to a student is still written by a tutor.

Why mirror some questions to Telegram too?

Anything waiting over 30 minutes goes to the on-call channel as well, so a question doesn't sit unanswered just because Slack is quiet.

Will it post if the queue is empty?

No. It skips the digest on hours with nothing new, so your channel doesn't fill with empty updates.

Put this on autopilot.
