Automated freeCodeCamp Mentee Progress Alerts

Every morning, WebRun opens freeCodeCamp, checks each mentee's certification progress and last-active date, archives any newly completed certificate to Google Drive, and texts you an alert listing mentees who haven't progressed in 7 or more days.

In short

How do I catch freeCodeCamp mentees before they stop showing up?

WebRun checks each mentee's freeCodeCamp progress every morning, archives any newly earned certificate to Google Drive, and texts your own phone an alert listing anyone with no progress for 7 or more days, so a mentee who has gone quiet gets a check-in before they drift away from the program.

  • Quiet mentees get flagged within a week, not a month
  • Every earned certificate is archived without manual saving
  • Mentors spend check-in time on the people who actually need it

Built for coding mentors · bootcamp volunteers · career-change coaches · self-taught developer communities

Questions, answered

Does it contact mentees directly?

No. The alert goes only to your own phone. WebRun never emails or messages a mentee on its own.

How stale does progress need to be to get flagged?

No completed challenge for 7 or more days. Anyone still actively working through freeCodeCamp stays off the alert.

Where do completed certificates go?

Straight into that mentee's folder in Google Drive, so you have a running record without saving each one by hand.

Put this on autopilot.

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