Automated Stencil Renewal and Usage Tracking
Every Monday, WebRun opens Stencil, checks the plan renewal date and how many built in stock images and graphics have been used this cycle, logs the weekly usage trend in Google Sheets, and drafts a Gmail heads up to the plan owner when renewal is within two weeks, leaving the email unsent so the decision to renew, upgrade, or downgrade stays a manual one.
How do I decide whether to renew or change my Stencil plan?
WebRun checks the Stencil plan renewal date and weekly image usage every Monday, logs the usage trend in Google Sheets, and drafts a Gmail heads up to the plan owner when renewal is within two weeks. The plan owner gets an informed, trend backed reminder instead of a surprise charge or a lapsed plan.
- Renewal decisions come with two weeks of notice and real usage data
- Usage trends are visible instead of guessed at renewal time
- The plan owner reviews one drafted heads up instead of digging through billing

Questions, answered
Does it renew, upgrade, or cancel the plan itself?
No. WebRun only reads the renewal date and usage and drafts a heads up. Any change to the plan is always a manual decision by the plan owner.
Why track usage trends over time?
A single week usage number does not say much on its own. The running log in Sheets makes it easy to see whether the team is outgrowing or underusing the current plan.
Will it email the plan owner automatically?
No. The heads up is drafted in Gmail and left unsent, only going out once the plan owner reviews and sends it.
