Automated Crunchbase Watchlist Updates
Every Monday, WebRun opens your Crunchbase lists, re-reads each target company's headcount, location, industry, and leadership details, writes a fresh row per company into Google Sheets, compares it against last week, and sends your sales team a short WhatsApp note of the accounts that actually moved.
How do I keep my target account list up to date every week?

Questions, answered
Does it contact the target companies?
No. WebRun only reads public Crunchbase profiles and posts an internal WhatsApp note to your own team. It never emails, messages, or connects with anyone at the account.
How does it know what changed?
It compares this week's snapshot against last week's tab in the same Google Sheet, field by field, and marks headcount, location, industry, and leadership differences.
Can I use my own account list?
Yes. Point WebRun at any saved Crunchbase list you already keep, or give it a sheet of company names, and it refreshes those exact accounts every Monday.
