Automated QuestionPro Response Pace Alerts
Every morning, WebRun opens QuestionPro, reads yesterday's response count for each live survey, compares it against the pace that survey needs to hit its target date, writes the running numbers into Airtable, and texts you when a survey has clearly stalled.
How do I tell when a QuestionPro survey has stopped collecting responses?
WebRun opens QuestionPro every morning and reads yesterday's response count for each live survey. It compares that against the pace the survey needs to hit its target, logs the running numbers in Airtable, and texts you through Twilio when a survey stalls, so quiet fieldwork surfaces in a day.
- A stalled survey is caught within a day, not at the deadline
- Every live survey has a daily response history in Airtable
- Texts arrive only when fieldwork is genuinely off pace

Questions, answered
Will it close or pause a survey on its own?
No. WebRun only reads your QuestionPro surveys. It never closes a survey, changes a quota, or edits a question. Every decision about fieldwork stays with you.
Does it text respondents or panel partners?
No. The Twilio text goes to your own number. Any message intended for a panel partner or a client is drafted and left for you to approve before anything sends.
What counts as stalled?
A survey collecting well under its own recent daily average, or one whose remaining days will not cover the responses still needed. You set the tolerance during setup.
