Questions, answered

Will it post to Instagram without my approval?

Never. Every caption is drafted and sent to Slack for your review - nothing appears on Instagram until a human approves and posts it.

What if we do not use Toast for specials?

You can point WebRun at a shared Google Doc or a Slack message instead - wherever your team records the day's specials.

Can it include a photo?

Yes - if you tag a photo in your specials note or add one to the Slack approval message, WebRun can attach it to the Instagram draft.

Put this on autopilot.

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