In short

How do I track my students' daily HelloTalk activity?

WebRun checks every student's HelloTalk activity each morning, messages sent, corrections made, and call minutes from the day before, and logs a summary to Notion. It also adds the day's totals to a Google Sheets tracker, so tutors can see engagement trends and quiet students without checking each profile by hand.

  • Tutors see daily engagement without opening every student profile
  • Quiet students are flagged before three days become a pattern
  • Weekly trends are tracked in one Sheets tab

Built for language tutors · language school coordinators · conversation practice programs · independent language teachers

Questions, answered

Does it message students who are inactive?

No. WebRun only logs and tracks activity. Any outreach to a quiet student is a decision the tutor or coordinator makes.

What counts as activity?

Messages sent, corrections made, and call minutes for the day, exactly as HelloTalk records them for that student.

How far back does the weekly trend go?

The Sheets tracker keeps a running column for the current week, so you can see patterns building before three quiet days become a habit.

Put this on autopilot.
