Questions, answered
Does it submit grant applications or contact grantors automatically?
No. WebRun reads and reports the status of existing grant records in Aplos. All application submissions and grantor communications are handled by your grants team.
Can it track both foundation grants and government funding applications?
Yes. Any grant or funding request recorded in Aplos with a status field is included in the digest, whether it is a foundation award, government contract, or corporate sponsorship.
What if an application is awarded and we need to create the fund?
The digest flags newly awarded grants in Slack so your grants team can immediately create the corresponding restricted fund in Aplos and begin tracking spend against it.
