Automated Private Internet Access Renewal Reminders

Every Monday, WebRun opens your Private Internet Access account, checks the subscription renewal date, plan, and seat count, posts a renewal summary to Telegram, and sends you a direct Twilio text once the renewal date is under 5 days away.

In short

How do I make sure my team's Private Internet Access subscription never lapses?

WebRun checks your Private Internet Access subscription every Monday for its plan, renewal date, seat count, and auto renew status, then posts a summary to Telegram. Once the renewal date is within 5 days, it also sends you a direct Twilio text, so a VPN subscription your team relies on never lapses by surprise.

  • Renewal date gets checked every week instead of expiring by surprise
  • Urgent renewals within 5 days trigger a direct text, not just a summary
  • Seat count and auto renew status are visible every week

Questions, answered

Does WebRun renew the subscription or charge a card?

No. WebRun never touches billing or payment on your account. It only reports the renewal date so you can renew or cancel yourself.

Will it text me every week?

No. The text only goes out once renewal is within 5 days. Earlier weeks just get the standing Telegram summary.

What if auto renew is already on?

It still reports the upcoming date and marks auto renew as on, so you know it will renew on its own rather than mistaking it for one that needs action.

Put this on autopilot.

Turn it on in minutes - or have our team set it up for you.
