Automatic Flash Parking Occupancy Alerts
Every few minutes, WebRun checks live occupancy in Flash Parking against the threshold you set for each garage, and the moment one crosses it, posts an alert to Slack and texts the on-duty attendant so they can redirect traffic before the garage backs up.
How do I get alerted before a parking garage fills up?
WebRun checks live occupancy in Flash Parking every few minutes for each garage you manage. The moment a garage crosses the threshold you set, typically 90 percent, it posts an alert to your operations channel in Slack and texts the on-duty attendant, so your team can redirect traffic or open overflow parking before the garage actually fills.
- Attendants know a garage is nearly full minutes before it actually fills
- Traffic gets redirected before cars back up onto the street
- No attendant is texted twice for the same threshold crossing
Built for parking garage operators · downtown garage managers · event parking operations · parking management companies

Questions, answered
Will it text every attendant on every check?
No. It only texts the on-duty attendant once per threshold crossing, so occupancy sitting near the limit doesn't trigger a text every few minutes.
What threshold triggers an alert?
Whatever you set per garage, typically 90 percent occupancy. WebRun reads live counts from Flash Parking and compares them against that number on every check.
Does it redirect traffic or close the gate itself?
No. It only alerts your team with a suggested next step. Opening overflow parking or redirecting traffic stays a decision your on-site staff makes.
