Automated Postbox New Account Setup Checks
When a new account is added to Postbox, WebRun opens it and checks the signature, sync settings, and notification preferences are all in place, saves a dated confirmation record to Google Drive, and posts the checklist result to Slack once every item passes.
How do I confirm a new Postbox account is set up correctly?
WebRun checks a new Postbox account against a setup checklist, confirming the signature, sync, and notification settings are in place. It saves a dated confirmation record to Google Drive and posts the result to Slack once everything passes, so a new mailbox never gets handed over half configured.
- Every new Postbox account is checked before it's handed over
- Setup gaps get caught and logged instead of surfacing later
- The team gets a Slack post only once an account actually passes

Questions, answered
Does it change any settings itself?
No. WebRun only checks whether the signature, sync, and notification settings are already in place. It never edits account settings or sends anything from the mailbox on its own.
What happens if a checklist item fails?
It is noted in the Google Drive record and flagged in Slack, so a half finished setup never gets mistaken for a working one.
Can I change what's on the checklist?
Yes. Tell WebRun which settings matter for your setup and it checks that list every time a new account is added.
