In short

How do I automatically draft terminal appointment confirmations for customers from PortPro?

Every morning, WebRun opens PortPro, finds new import loads with a booked terminal appointment, and creates a Gmail draft for each one containing the container number, terminal, and appointment time so your customer service team reviews and sends it. No confirmation goes to a customer without human approval.

  • Every new load gets a customer-ready confirmation draft without manual writing
  • Customer service team reviews and sends, not drafts from scratch
  • No appointment goes uncommunicated when loads are created overnight

Built for drayage carriers · port trucking customer service teams · intermodal logistics coordinators · container import managers

Questions, answered

Will it send the confirmation email to the customer automatically?

No. WebRun creates a draft in Gmail and leaves it for your customer service team to review and send. No email goes to any customer without a human approving it first.

What if the terminal appointment changes after the draft is created?

If the appointment is updated in PortPro, the next morning run will create a new draft with the corrected details. Your team should discard any outdated drafts when they review.

Can it handle multiple customers on the same run?

Yes. It creates one Gmail draft per new load, so if ten new loads have appointments booked overnight, your customer service team wakes up to ten ready-to-send drafts.

Put this on autopilot.
