In short

How do I get a daily digest of drywall bids due this week?

Every morning, WebRun reads your Google Sheets bid board for drywall bids due today and this week, checks how far each takeoff has progressed in The EDGE, and sends a Telegram digest. Bids due today come first, and any whose takeoff is not ready to submit are highlighted, so no deadline sneaks up on your estimating team.

  • No bid deadline is missed because it slipped off the board
  • You see every due bid and its takeoff status before 7 AM
  • Behind-schedule takeoffs are flagged while there is still time

Questions, answered

Is this just a reminder, or does it submit bids?

It is a reminder only. WebRun sends you a Telegram digest of which bids are due and how far along each takeoff is. It never submits a bid or changes an estimate. Submitting stays entirely with your team.

Where do the due dates come from?

From your Google Sheets bid board, where each opportunity carries its bid due date. WebRun reads that board every morning, so the digest reflects whatever your team has logged, and new bids appear the next run.

Can it warn me when a takeoff is behind?

Yes. It reads the estimate status in The EDGE and highlights any bid due today whose takeoff is not yet ready to submit, so you can put an estimator on it before the deadline passes.

Put this on autopilot.
