Automated Coursera Completion Records
Every Monday, WebRun signs in to Coursera, collects the courses and specializations completed since the last run with their certificate details and completion dates, posts the evidence table to Slack, and texts the learning lead a summary through Twilio, so the training log stays audit ready.
How do I keep a record of course certificates my team completes?
WebRun collects your team's completed Coursera courses and specializations every Monday, capturing the learner, the completion date, and the certificate reference for each. It posts the evidence table to Slack and texts the learning lead a summary through Twilio, so the training log is audit ready without chasing forwarded emails.
- An evidence table is ready for audits without chasing certificate emails
- Every completion carries a learner, date, and certificate reference
- Finished specializations are flagged the week they complete

How is each run configured?
Secure by default
Connect once, stays signed in
WebRun signs in once and keeps each session in a persistent environment, so every run picks up right where it left off.
Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Does it message the learners themselves?
No. Slack posts go to your internal learning channel and Twilio texts go only to the team numbers you configured. WebRun never contacts a learner or comments inside Coursera.
Will completions be recorded twice?
No. Each run compares against what is already logged and only adds completions recorded since the last run, so the training record stays clean week after week.
Does it enrol people or change course settings?
No. WebRun only reads accomplishments and enrollment status. Enrolling a learner, unenrolling, or buying a course stays a decision your team makes.
