In short

How do I follow up with new microschool family inquiries automatically?

WebRun watches Prenda for new family inquiries and, within 30 minutes, drafts a warm, on brand welcome reply in Gmail answering common first questions about the pod. It also holds a tentative tour slot on the guide's Google Calendar. Nothing sends automatically. The guide reviews the reply and confirms the time, so every family still gets a fast, personal response.

  • New family inquiries get a same day reply instead of waiting through the week
  • Guides open Gmail to a ready to personalize draft instead of a blank page
  • No interested family falls through the cracks between inquiry and tour

Built for microschool guides · Prenda guides · learning pod founders · enrollment coordinators

Questions, answered

Does it email new families without the guide's OK?

No. WebRun only drafts the welcome reply in Gmail, it never sends on its own. The guide reviews, personalizes if needed, and sends it themselves.

Does it book a tour without confirming with the family first?

No. It only holds a tentative slot on the guide's own calendar, it never sends a calendar invite to the family. The guide confirms the time when they reply.

How fast does it catch a new inquiry?

Within 30 minutes of the inquiry landing in Prenda, so a family who reaches out in the evening still gets a same day, human reviewed reply.
