Automated Encompass Rate Lock Alerts

Every morning, WebRun opens Encompass, reads the lock expiration date on each active loan, finds the rate locks expiring in the next few days, posts the loan officer a Slack alert ranked by how soon each expires, and logs every expiring lock in Google Sheets with its loan, borrower, and milestone.

In short

How do I get alerted before a mortgage rate lock expires?

Every morning, WebRun opens Encompass and reads the lock expiration date on each active loan, flagging the rate locks expiring inside your warning window. It posts the loan officer a Slack alert ranked by days remaining and logs every expiring lock in Google Sheets, so no lock slips past its date without a person deciding what to do.

  • Expiring locks surface each morning with days remaining
  • No rate lock lapses unnoticed before the loan is ready
  • Every expiring lock is logged with a dated record to track

Questions, answered

Will it extend or re-lock a rate on its own?

No. WebRun only alerts the loan officer and logs the dates. It reads lock expirations in Encompass and surfaces what is about to lapse. Every lock extension or relock decision stays with a person inside your own pricing workflow.

How far ahead does it warn me?

As far ahead as you set. Tell WebRun your warning window, for example seven days before expiration, and it flags only locks inside that window each morning, so you act with time to spare rather than on the deadline.

How does it know a lock is expiring?

It reads the lock expiration date on each active loan in the Encompass Pipeline every morning and lists any inside your warning window, ranked by how soon they expire so the most urgent stand out.
