In short

How do I track outstanding promotional product sample requests automatically?

WebRun opens commonsku every morning and identifies sample requests that have been outstanding or unupdated for three or more days. It posts a chase digest to Slack so your team can follow up with suppliers, and logs every open request to a Google Sheet for a complete tracking record from request to fulfillment.

  • No sample request sits unactioned for more than three days
  • Team has a full chase digest in Slack every morning ranked by request age
  • Google Sheets provides a permanent record of every sample from request to fulfillment

Questions, answered

Will it contact suppliers about sample requests automatically?

No. WebRun posts an internal Slack digest for your team to action. All supplier outreach is done by your team after reviewing the digest.

How does it detect a stalled sample request?

It looks for sample requests in commonsku with no recorded status update in the past three days and surfaces those as needing follow-up.

What happens when a sample arrives and is fulfilled?

Fulfilled sample requests are excluded from the next run and the Google Sheets log is updated to reflect the closed status.
