Questions, answered
Will it email renters without anyone checking first?
No. WebRun leaves every reminder as a Gmail draft. Your rental coordinator reviews and sends each one, so no renter gets a message unchecked.
How does it rank which overdue rentals matter most?
It reads the scheduled return date on each active agreement in Ideal DMS and ranks the list by days overdue, flagging anything past 3 days as high priority.
What if a unit was already returned?
It reads the live rental status in Ideal DMS each morning, so any unit already checked back in drops off the overdue list automatically.
