Questions, answered
Will it submit a grant application for me?
No. WebRun only reads your Instrumentl tracker and surfaces deadlines. Writing and submitting applications stays with your team. It just makes sure no due date is missed.
How far ahead does it remind me?
It looks at deadlines in the next few weeks and adds calendar reminders a few days early, with anything due inside a week flagged to the top of the Slack list.
Does it handle report deadlines too, not just applications?
Yes. It captures both application due dates and post-award report deadlines from Instrumentl, so compliance dates get the same reminders as new opportunities.
