Get alerted when your kid's Greenlight spending crosses your limit
Every hour, WebRun opens Greenlight, checks each child's card activity against the spending limit you set, posts an alert to Telegram and texts you through Twilio the moment one crosses it, so you know about a purchase the same hour instead of noticing at the weekly review.

Questions, answered
Will it freeze the card or lower the limit itself?
No. WebRun never sends a payment, issues a refund, or transfers funds on its own, and it does not freeze a card or change limits either. It only reads spending and alerts you, leaving any card action to you in Greenlight.
How is each child's spending limit set?
You choose the limit per child when you turn the workflow on, and WebRun only alerts you when live Greenlight spending crosses it.
Will I get alerted for every small purchase?
No. It checks hourly but only alerts when a child's total spending newly crosses their limit, not for every individual purchase.
