Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it send the status emails to clients automatically?

No. WebRun drafts each email in Gmail and leaves it for your review. Nothing is sent to a client until you read and approve it, keeping you in control of every client communication.

What information is included in each digest?

Each email lists the load number, current status, current location, and estimated delivery date for every active load belonging to that customer.

Can it handle multiple loads per customer?

Yes. WebRun groups all active loads by customer and includes every load in a single digest email, so each client receives one concise update rather than separate messages per load.
