In short

How do I get alerted to new Housing.com listings that match my criteria?

WebRun checks your saved Housing.com searches every hour during the day for new listings, price drops, and delistings, posts the grouped shortlist to your team's Slack channel, and sends an urgent Telegram alert the moment a property matches your top criteria, so your team never loses a good match to a slow refresh.

  • New listings reach the team within the hour they appear
  • Standout matches get an urgent alert instead of waiting for the digest
  • Delisted properties drop off the shortlist automatically

Questions, answered

Does WebRun contact landlords or agents for me?

No. WebRun only reads listing data from your saved searches. It never messages a landlord, agent, or Housing.com support on your behalf.

How does it decide what counts as a standout match?

You set the price range, locality, and other criteria once. Only listings that clear that bar get a Telegram alert, everything else waits for the Slack shortlist.

What happens when a listing gets delisted?

It reads the live status on Housing.com each run, so a delisted property is flagged and dropped from future shortlists automatically.

Put this on autopilot.
