Questions, answered

Does it download new photos on its own?

No. WebRun only records photos your team has already downloaded from Pexels. It never pulls new images without a person choosing them first.

Why track the photographer credit?

Pexels photos are free to use, but crediting photographers is good practice, and having it logged means you can find the right credit fast if you ever need it.

Who gets the weekly email?

Whoever you put on the marketing list. It's an internal tracking email, not sent anywhere outside your team.

Put this on autopilot.
