Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it email customers about their backflow test without my approval?

No. Every customer reminder is drafted in Gmail and left unsent for your review. Nothing reaches a customer until you personally approve and send the email.

How does it know each customer's backflow test due date?

It reads the due dates recorded in Kickserv customer records and job notes. You set or update these dates after each completed test, and WebRun tracks them from there.

What if a customer's test is already booked or completed?

If the test has a completed job in Kickserv for the current cycle, WebRun excludes that customer from the reminder list automatically to prevent unnecessary outreach.

Put this on autopilot.
