Automated Cox Business Contract Renewal Alerts

Every Monday, WebRun opens your Cox Business account, checks the contract end date and current rate for internet and phone services, saves the latest bill to Google Drive, and texts you once the contract is within 30 days of renewing.

In short

How do I get a heads up before my Cox Business contract renews?

WebRun checks your Cox Business account every Monday for each service's contract end date and current rate, saving the latest bill to Google Drive. Once a contract is within 30 days of renewing, it texts you directly with the service, date, and rate, so a renewal or price change never lands as a surprise on next month's bill.

  • Contract renewals get a text 30 days out instead of a surprise charge
  • Every monthly bill is archived automatically in Drive
  • Rate changes are caught the same week they appear on the account

Questions, answered

Will it renew or change the plan for us?

No. WebRun only reads the contract end date and current rate. Renewing, changing, or canceling a plan stays your decision on the Cox account.

How early does the text start?

30 days before the contract end date, repeating weekly until the date passes or you act. You can adjust that window.

Where are the saved bills kept?

In a billing folder in your own Google Drive, one file per month, separate from the Cox portal.
