Questions, answered
Does it cancel or reschedule jobs automatically when there is a gap?
No. WebRun alerts your management team in Slack about the gap and leaves all scheduling decisions to you. It never moves, cancels, or contacts a customer about a job on its own.
How does it know my technician availability?
You maintain a simple Google Sheets capacity table listing each technician and their available days and hours. WebRun reads this sheet each Monday to compare against Kickserv job volume.
Can it account for seasonal spikes like spring startup or fall winterization?
Yes. Because it reads your actual Kickserv schedule each Monday, it naturally captures seasonal volume spikes and flags them when they exceed your recorded technician capacity.
