In short

How do I get automatic alerts for low-attendance cinema sessions?

WebRun opens Vista every morning, reads occupancy percentages for every session screening today, and sends a Telegram alert to your programming team listing each session below your target. Sessions are ranked by lowest occupancy so the team can prioritise their response before the first film screens.

  • At-risk sessions flagged before they screen, not after
  • Programming team gets a ranked Telegram list of every session below target
  • All-clear sent automatically when all sessions are on track

Questions, answered

Will it cancel or reschedule sessions automatically?

No. WebRun only sends an alert so your team can make scheduling or promotional decisions. No sessions are changed without human action.

Can I set different occupancy targets for different film types or screen sizes?

Yes. You can configure occupancy thresholds per screen or per film category when you set up the workflow, and WebRun applies each target to the matching sessions.

What if all sessions are tracking well?

WebRun sends a brief all-clear Telegram message confirming all sessions are above target, so your team always gets a morning signal.
