Automated Nextdoor Reply Queues

Every morning, WebRun opens your Nextdoor business page, finds the direct messages and post comments still without a reply, drafts a suggested response for each in your voice, saves the queue to a Google Drive document, and sends you a WhatsApp summary of what is waiting and for how long.

In short

How do I keep up with messages on my Nextdoor business page?

WebRun clears your Nextdoor inbox every morning. It finds the direct messages and post comments on your business page that still have no reply, drafts a response for each in your voice, saves the queue to Google Drive, and sends a WhatsApp summary, so a neighbour asking for a quote hears back the same day.

  • A quote request gets an answer the same day
  • Every waiting message arrives with a draft already written
  • Drafts are never posted without your approval

Questions, answered

Will it reply to neighbours without me?

No. Every reply is drafted into a Google Drive document and left unsent. Nothing is posted to your Nextdoor page or sent to a neighbour until you approve and post it yourself.

How does it write in my voice?

Give WebRun a few of your own past replies or a short tone note and it matches them. Any draft needing a price, a date, or a detail only you know is flagged rather than invented.

Will it show me the same message every day?

Only until it has a reply. Once you have answered a neighbour, the message drops out of the next morning's queue, so the list shrinks as you work it.

Put this on autopilot.

Turn it on in minutes - or have our team set it up for you.
