Questions, answered
Can I customize which metrics appear in the digest?
Yes. Tell WebRun which metrics matter most at setup and it will focus the digest on those fields, whether that is label cost, carrier mix, exception counts, or by-channel volume.
Does it compare to previous days?
It flags any carrier whose exception rate has risen above the prior 7-day average. You can ask WebRun to add a week-over-week comparison for any metric at setup.
What if ShipStation has no shipments yesterday?
WebRun skips the Slack post on days with zero shipments so your channel stays clean. You can switch it to always post a zero-count summary if you prefer.
