In short

How do I automatically draft LP distribution notices from Carta?

WebRun reads every pending Carta distribution event each morning, calculates each LP's pro-rata proceeds, logs the amounts to a Google Sheet, and drafts a formal distribution notice for each LP in Gmail. All notices are held for fund manager review and approval before any LP receives communication.

  • LP distribution notices are drafted before any payment is wired
  • Pro-rata amounts are logged to a Google Sheet for audit and reconciliation
  • Missing wire instructions are flagged before notices go out

Questions, answered

Will it send distribution notices to LPs automatically?

No. Every distribution notice is drafted and left unsent in Gmail for your review. WebRun never sends LP communications without a fund manager reading and approving them first.

How does it calculate each LP's distribution amount?

It reads each LP's ownership percentage directly from Carta's cap table and multiplies it by the total distribution proceeds recorded in the distribution event, matching Carta's own pro-rata calculation.

What if an LP has missing wire instructions?

The Google Sheet flags any LP whose wire details are missing or unverified in Carta, so your team can resolve them before notices go out and payments are initiated.
