Automated Fillout Submission Filing and Confirmation

Every few minutes, WebRun checks Fillout for new submissions, downloads any uploaded files straight into a matching Google Drive folder, and drafts a short Twilio text confirming receipt for the respondent, left ready for a human to review and send.

In short

How do I automatically save and organize file uploads from Fillout forms?

WebRun checks Fillout every few minutes for new submissions, saves any uploaded files straight into the matching Google Drive folder named by respondent, and drafts a short Twilio text confirming receipt. Nothing sends automatically, a human reviews and sends the text, so submissions get filed and acknowledged within minutes without manual downloading.

  • Uploaded files are filed and named within minutes of submission
  • No respondent is left wondering if their upload went through
  • Nothing texts a respondent without a human reviewing it first

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it text respondents without me approving it?

No. WebRun only drafts the confirmation in Twilio. A human reviews and sends every text, nothing goes out on its own.

What happens to submissions without an attachment?

They're still read and can still get a drafted confirmation, WebRun just skips the Drive filing step since there's nothing to save.

Could a file get saved twice?

No. WebRun only processes submissions received since its last check, so each uploaded file is saved to Drive exactly once.
