Automated GameStop Preorder Pickup Alerts
Every day, WebRun opens your GameStop order history, checks preorders for anything that's moved to ready for pickup, posts the full list to Slack for whoever's running errands, and sends a separate Telegram ping for anything whose pickup window is closing soon so nothing gets missed.
How do I get notified when a GameStop preorder is ready for pickup?
WebRun checks your GameStop preorders every day for anything that's moved to ready for pickup, posts the full list to Slack, and sends a separate Telegram ping for anything with a pickup window closing within 2 days. Preorders get collected before the hold period runs out, not after it's too late.
- Ready-for-pickup preorders are flagged the same day, not discovered at hold expiry
- Closing pickup windows get a separate, urgent Telegram ping
- Whoever's running errands works off one Slack list instead of checking accounts
Built for independent game stores · esports lounges · school gaming clubs · game rental businesses

Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Will it pick up the preorder for me?
No. WebRun only tracks pickup status and flags what's ready. Actually collecting it from the store is still done by a person.
How does it know the pickup window?
It reads the hold period GameStop shows for that preorder, so the Telegram ping only fires when a real deadline is close.
Do I get pinged for every ready preorder?
No. Every ready preorder appears in the daily Slack list. The Telegram ping is reserved for ones whose pickup window is genuinely closing soon.
