Automated Poll Everywhere Response Alerts
Every evening, WebRun opens Poll Everywhere, reads the response count on each activity you ran that day, compares it against your expected audience size, posts the under-performing questions to your Microsoft Teams channel, and pings you in Telegram if a whole session came in low.
How do I find out which of my polls got almost no responses?
WebRun checks your Poll Everywhere activities every evening and compares each response count against the audience you expected. It posts the questions that came in under your threshold to Microsoft Teams and pings you in Telegram when an entire session under-performed, so weak questions get rewritten before the next run.
- Weak questions get spotted the same day, not at the end of term
- Facilitators see participation numbers without opening the dashboard
- You only get a Telegram ping when a whole session actually under-performed
Built for trainers · university lecturers · conference organisers · internal comms teams

How is each run configured?
Secure by default
Connect once, stays signed in
WebRun signs in once and keeps each session in a persistent environment, so every run picks up right where it left off.
Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Will it change or reset my activities?
No. WebRun only reads response counts in Poll Everywhere. It never clears results, reopens an activity, or edits a question, and the alerts go to your own internal Teams channel and Telegram chat.
How do I set the threshold?
You give WebRun an expected audience size or a minimum response rate, for example flag anything under 40 percent of the room. Different sessions can carry different thresholds.
Does it see who answered?
It reads the counts and the activity settings, not individual respondent identities, so anonymous polls stay anonymous in the alert.
