Automated Datasite Bidder Activity Reports

Every Monday, WebRun opens your Datasite room, reads document and folder activity for each permission group, ranks bidders by how much they opened and how recently, and posts a short engagement read to Slack while filing the full table in Microsoft Teams.

In short

How do I tell which bidders are still active in my data room?

WebRun opens your Datasite room every Monday, reads document and folder activity for each permission group, and ranks bidders by how much they opened and how recently they logged in. It posts that ranking to Slack and files the full table in Microsoft Teams, so follow up goes to buyers still working the file.

  • Quiet bidders are named every Monday instead of noticed too late
  • Follow up goes to the buyers still opening documents
  • The deal channel gets a weekly trend without anyone pulling a report

Questions, answered

Will it contact bidders or change room permissions?

No. WebRun only reads activity and reports it internally to Slack and Microsoft Teams. It never messages a bidder, never grants or revokes access, and never edits a permission group.

How does it decide a bidder has gone quiet?

By last active date. Any permission group with no views or downloads for more than 7 days is flagged as quiet, with the exact date it was last in the room.

Does it look at the Q and A threads?

No. This run reads document and folder activity only. Question threads are left untouched, so the two views of the room stay separate.

Put this on autopilot.
