Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it reply to the lead without me?

No. WebRun only drafts the reply in Outlook and leaves it unsent. A rep reviews and sends it, so every new prospect hears from a real person on your team.

How fast does it draft the reply?

It runs the moment a new inquiry is submitted, so the draft and the Slack alert are usually ready within minutes, well before the lead goes cold.

What if two reps could handle the same lead?

It posts to your shared sales channel and tags whoever is on rotation, so the whole team sees the lead and only one person claims it.

Put this on autopilot.
