Automated Feature Request Follow-Ups

Every Monday, WebRun opens Featurebase, finds the posts that moved to completed in the last week, collects the people who upvoted each one, drafts a changelog entry and a Gmail note per request for you to approve, and posts the shipped list to Slack so the team sees the loop closing.

In short

How do I tell the customers who requested a feature that it has shipped?

WebRun closes your feedback loop every Monday. It finds the Featurebase posts that moved to completed, collects the people who upvoted each one, drafts a changelog entry and a Gmail note per request for you to approve, and posts the shipped list to Slack with the upvote count behind each item.

  • The people who asked hear it shipped, so they keep sending feedback
  • Every shipped item arrives with a drafted changelog entry
  • Nothing reaches a customer until a person approves the draft

Step by step

What does WebRun do on every run?

The exact actions WebRun takes, in order - in plain language, so you can adjust anything.

  1. WebRun signs in and gets to work

    Opens featurebase.app in a real browser with your saved login - no setup, no API keys.

  2. 1
    Featurebase - find what shipped this week
    featurebase.app
    WebRun in Featurebase: find what shipped this week
    WebRun opens Featurebase to find what shipped this week.
    • Open Featurebase and filter posts to those whose status changed to completed in the last seven days
    • Capture the post title, the board it sits on, and the upvote count
    • Collect the people who upvoted or commented on each shipped post
    • Draft a short changelog entry per shipped item and leave it unpublished for review
    • Skip posts already announced in an earlier week

    Done when Every post completed this week has its upvoters and a drafted changelog entry.

  3. 2
    Gmail - draft the note to the people who asked
    gmail.com
    WebRun in Gmail: draft the note to the people who asked

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it email customers or publish the changelog on its own?

No. Every customer note is left as a Gmail draft and every changelog entry stays unpublished until you approve it, so nothing public goes out without a person reading it first.

How does it know who asked for a feature?

It reads the upvoters and commenters recorded on each Featurebase post, so the note goes to the people who actually asked rather than a general announcement list.

Will the same request be announced twice?

No. Every announced post is recorded and checked on the next run, so a request that already had its note drafted is skipped even if its status changes again.

Put this on autopilot.

Turn it on in minutes - or have our team set it up for you.
