How is each run configured?
Secure by default
Connect once, stays signed in
WebRun signs in once and keeps each session in a persistent environment, so every run picks up right where it left off.
Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Will it extend a promotion for me?
No. WebRun reads promotions and never edits a date, a status or a feed. Extending or ending an offer stays a decision you make in Merchant Center yourself.
How far ahead does it warn me?
As far ahead as you set during setup. The Teams countdown covers the whole window while the Telegram message fires only for promotions ending today or already lapsed.
Does it also catch promotions that never started?
Yes. Each run reads the start date and status too, so a promotion that was scheduled but is not live shows on the countdown alongside the ones about to end.
