In short

How do I send delivery status updates to customers?

Every hour, WebRun checks Nextar's active delivery orders for a status change and logs it to Google Sheets with a timestamp. It drafts a short WhatsApp update for each affected customer, naming the order and new status, and leaves it unsent, so your staff reviews and sends it, keeping customers posted without typing from scratch.

  • Customers hear about a delivery change within the hour
  • Every status change is logged with a timestamp automatically
  • Staff review and send, so no update reaches a customer unchecked

Built for small retail shops · Nextar POS users · delivery staff · shop owners offering delivery

Questions, answered

Will it text customers without a person checking first?

No. WebRun only drafts each status update in WhatsApp and leaves it unsent. Your staff reads it and taps send, so nothing reaches a customer unchecked.

What counts as a status change?

Any move between the delivery stages you already use in Nextar, like preparing, out for delivery, delayed, or delivered.

Does it check often enough to matter?

Yes. It checks every hour, so customers hear about a change well before they'd think to ask.

Put this on autopilot.
