In short

How do I automatically chase clients for missing survey project documents?

Every Monday, WebRun reviews active projects in Carlson Software, checks DocuSign for unsigned envelopes, and identifies every missing client-supplied document. It drafts a specific, polite request email per client in Gmail for your review and posts a full collection status list to Slack, so nothing stays blocked without your team knowing about it.

  • Every missing client document is surfaced and chased within a week
  • No document request goes to a client without your review and approval
  • The full team sees the collection status in Slack before fieldwork is scheduled

Built for survey project managers · land surveying offices · survey office administrators · civil engineering document coordinators

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it send the document request emails to clients automatically?

No. Every request email is drafted in Gmail and held for your review. You check the content and approve each one before it reaches a client, so nothing goes out on its own.

What counts as a missing document?

WebRun checks against the document checklist attached to each project in Carlson Software and against unsigned DocuSign envelopes. You define what is required per project type, and it tracks against that list.

What if a client just uploaded a document but the record has not been updated?

WebRun reads the live state from DocuSign and Carlson Software each time it runs, so documents received since the last run are automatically removed from the chase list.

Put this on autopilot.

Turn it on in minutes - or have our team set it up for you.
