In short

How do I automatically rebook missed language lessons with the same teacher?

Every morning, WebRun scans Teachworks for lessons missed or cancelled the day before, finds a matching open slot with the same teacher on Google Calendar, and drafts a WhatsApp message proposing the makeup time. Staff review and send each draft, so students get a fast rebooking offer without any message going out unapproved.

  • Missed lessons get a rebooking offer the same morning instead of days later
  • Teachers keep their calendar full without chasing students themselves
  • No rebooking slot is double booked while a student is deciding

Questions, answered

Will it message students without staff review?

No. Every rebooking offer is saved as a WhatsApp draft. A staff member checks the proposed time and sends it themselves, so no student receives a message WebRun sent on its own.

What if the teacher has no open slot that week?

WebRun looks further out on the calendar until it finds a matching opening and notes in the draft that the offer is outside the usual week, so staff can adjust before sending.

Does it handle the actual rescheduling in Teachworks?

No. It proposes and holds a slot on the calendar. Once the student confirms, staff or the student through their portal finalizes the booking in Teachworks.
