Automatic Preschool Waitlist Follow-ups

Every Monday, WebRun opens Teaching Strategies GOLD to count each classroom's current roster against its capacity by age group, checks your Google Sheets waitlist for the next family in line for any open seat, and drafts a seat offer email in Gmail for the director to review and send.

In short

How do I fill an open preschool seat from my waitlist without missing anyone?

WebRun checks each classroom's roster in Teaching Strategies GOLD every Monday for open seats by age group, finds the next family in line on your Google Sheets waitlist, and drafts a seat offer email in Gmail with a start date and response deadline. Every offer waits for the director to review and send, so no seat goes out without approval.

  • Open seats get offered the same week instead of sitting empty for a billing cycle
  • The waitlist order you already keep is respected automatically, no manual cross checking
  • No offer goes out to a family without the director reviewing it first

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it offer a seat without the director's approval?

No. Every offer is left as a draft in Gmail for the director to review and send. WebRun never emails a waitlisted family on its own.

How does it decide which family is next?

It reads your existing Google Sheets waitlist in the order you already keep it, matched to the age group of the open seat, so your own waitlist order is respected.

What if a seat fills before the offer goes out?

It reads the live roster in Teaching Strategies GOLD every Monday, so a seat that already filled is skipped on the next run.

Put this on autopilot.
