Automatic Delivery Tracking From Email
Every morning, WebRun opens Edison Mail, reads the shipping confirmations and tracking notices that arrived, pulls out the sender, tracking number, and expected delivery date, posts a single in transit list to Slack, and opens a Trello card for every parcel past its promised date.
How do I turn shipping emails into one list of what is arriving and when?
WebRun reads the dispatch and tracking emails in Edison Mail every morning and pulls out the sender, item, tracking number, carrier, and expected delivery date. It posts one in transit list to Slack sorted by arrival date and opens a Trello card for every parcel past its promised date, closing cards as deliveries confirm.
- Every parcel in transit sits on one dated list each morning
- Late supplier orders are chased before the stock is needed
- Delivered parcels close themselves out of the list
Built for office managers · operations teams · ecommerce sellers · retail stores · small business owners

Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Will it reply to suppliers or chase them by email?
No. WebRun reads the mailbox and never sends, replies, archives, or deletes. A late parcel becomes a Trello card, and a person decides whether to chase the supplier.
Does it read my personal email?
It only opens messages that look like dispatch or tracking notices, and it records the sender, item, tracking number, and date. Message bodies are not copied into Slack or Trello.
How is this different from logging receipts as expenses?
A receipt log is about money already spent. This is about goods still moving: what left a warehouse, which carrier has it, and when it is due, so a late order is chased before someone needs the stock.
