Automated Firmex Data Room Activity Alerts

Every hour, WebRun opens Firmex, reads the data room's activity log for each invited party, checks the deal's bid and closing dates in Google Calendar, and messages the deal lead on WhatsApp when a party's activity jumps or goes cold.

In short

How do I know which data room parties are actually engaged in my deal?

WebRun checks your Firmex data room every hour, reading how much each invited party has viewed or downloaded and comparing it against their own recent activity. It cross-checks the deal's bid and closing dates in Google Calendar, then messages your deal lead on WhatsApp when a party heats up or goes quiet, so interest shifts get a same-day response.

  • Deal leads see engagement shifts within the hour, not at the next check in
  • Cold bidders get flagged before the deadline, not after
  • No one has to manually scroll the Firmex activity log

Questions, answered

Will it grant or revoke anyone's access to the data room?

No. WebRun only reads the existing activity log. It never changes permissions, invites, or removes anyone from the data room.

How does it decide who is trending hot?

It compares each invited party's document views and downloads over the last 24 hours against their own recent activity, so a real jump or a multi-day silence gets flagged.

Does it message bidders directly?

No. The WhatsApp alert goes only to your deal lead internally. WebRun never contacts a bidder or counterparty on its own.

Put this on autopilot.
