Automated Padlet Participation Tracking
Every morning, WebRun opens each of your class Padlets, reads who has posted, compares that against your roster, raises a Trello card per wall listing the students still missing a contribution, and sends the teaching team a WhatsApp summary before the day starts.
How do I see which students have not posted on a Padlet wall?
WebRun opens each class Padlet every morning, reads who has posted, and compares that against your roster. It raises a Trello card per wall naming the students still missing a contribution and sends the teaching team a WhatsApp summary, so participation gaps surface before the deadline passes.
- Missing contributions are named every morning, not counted at the deadline
- Students missing across several walls are spotted early
- Teaching staff get participation by wall without opening every Padlet

Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Will it message students or post on the wall?
No. WebRun never contacts a student and never adds, edits, or deletes a post on a Padlet wall. It reports participation to your Trello board and your internal WhatsApp group only.
How does it know who is on the roster?
You give it the class roster once, and it matches the author names on each Padlet against that list, so the missing column is named students rather than a headcount.
What about students who post under a nickname?
Names it cannot match are listed separately as unmatched authors rather than being counted as missing, so you can map the nickname once and it sticks for later runs.
