Automated Electrical Lead Speed-to-Lead Response
The moment a new electrical lead arrives in Housecall Pro, WebRun reads the inquiry details, drafts a personalized response email in Gmail, and pings your team in Slack so someone can review and send the reply within minutes.
How do I respond to new electrical leads instantly without hiring more staff?
WebRun detects every new electrical lead in Housecall Pro the moment it arrives, reads the inquiry details, drafts a personalized response email in Gmail referencing the specific job requested, and pings your team in Slack so someone can review and send the reply within minutes. Electrical leads get a fast, relevant response before they contact a competitor.
- New leads get a draft response within minutes instead of hours
- After-hours inquiries are flagged so no lead waits overnight without acknowledgment
- Your team reviews one click, not a blank page, cutting response time dramatically

Questions, answered
Will it reply to the customer automatically?
No. WebRun drafts the response and alerts your team in Slack, but a team member reviews and sends the email. The goal is a human reply within minutes, not an automated one.
What if the lead comes in at night or on a weekend?
WebRun runs around the clock and prepares the draft immediately. The Slack alert is marked urgent for after-hours inquiries so the first person online in the morning can respond right away.
Does it work for all types of electrical jobs or just specific ones?
It works for any new inquiry in Housecall Pro. It identifies the job type from the lead notes and customizes the draft for panel upgrades, EV charger installs, wiring, generator work, or general electrical requests.
