In short

How do I catch students falling behind on Naviance tasks?

WebRun checks every student's required Naviance tasks each morning, the college list, essays, and recommendation requests, against their deadlines and saves a behind schedule roster to Google Drive. It drafts a Twilio nudge for each student falling behind, so a counselor can review and send it before a deadline slips further.

  • Slipping deadlines are caught every morning, not at application season
  • Counselors get a ready to send nudge for every behind schedule student
  • The behind schedule roster always reflects the current status

Built for high school counselors · college and career readiness teams · school administrators · counseling departments

Questions, answered

Will it text students without approval?

No. WebRun only drafts the nudge in Twilio. The counselor reviews and sends it, nothing reaches a student automatically.

What counts as a required task?

Whatever tasks your school has set up in Naviance, such as the college list, essays, or recommendation requests, with their real deadlines.

Does it notify parents too?

No. It only prepares a draft nudge for the student. Any parent communication is a separate decision the counselor makes.

Put this on autopilot.
