In short

How do I automatically send crew scheduling confirmations before a survey field day?

Every evening, WebRun reads tomorrow's field assignments in Carlson Software and Google Calendar, drafts a personalised confirmation email per crew member with their site, start time, and equipment list, and queues SMS messages via Twilio. Everything is held for your approval so no crew member is notified until you say so.

  • Every crew member has their site, time, and equipment list the evening before
  • No confirmation goes out without your review and approval
  • Missing contact details and calendar conflicts are flagged before the field day begins

Questions, answered

Will it send the confirmation messages automatically?

No. Both the Gmail drafts and the Twilio SMS queue are held for your review. You approve the batch before any message reaches a crew member, so you can correct last-minute changes first.

What if a crew member's contact details are missing?

WebRun flags the gap in the Twilio queue summary and still drafts the email confirmation using whatever contact information is on the project record in Carlson Software.

Can it handle same-day schedule changes?

Yes. You can trigger a re-run manually at any time of day. WebRun re-reads the current assignments in Carlson Software and regenerates the confirmation drafts with the updated details.
