Automated Printify Production Issue Alerts
Every morning, WebRun opens your Printify order queue, checks for anything flagged as delayed, on hold, or out of stock at the print provider, checks Gmail for any explanation the provider sent, and logs each issue to Airtable with its status so your team can decide how to handle it before the customer asks.
How do I catch Printify production delays before a customer complains?
WebRun checks your Printify order queue every morning for anything delayed, on hold, or affected by an out of stock blank, checks Gmail for the print provider's explanation, and logs each issue to Airtable with a new expected date where one exists. Your team sees production problems the same morning, not from a customer complaint.
- Production issues surface the same morning they're flagged, not weeks later
- Every issue is logged with the provider's own explanation attached
- Resolved orders drop off the log automatically
Built for print on demand sellers · Etsy and Shopify store owners · small merch brands · ecommerce fulfillment 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 tell my customer about the delay?
No. WebRun only logs the issue internally so your team knows about it. Whether and how to tell the customer is still your team's decision.
What counts as a production issue?
Any order Printify or the print provider marks delayed, on hold, or affected by an out of stock blank, not routine orders moving through fulfillment normally.
What if the print provider never explains the delay?
The Airtable row stays open and flagged as unexplained, so your team knows to follow up instead of assuming a reason that was never given.
