Automated Class Waitlist Offers
Every morning, WebRun opens Like Sew, spots classes where a seat just opened, matches each opening to the next person on the waitlist, logs the offers to a Google Sheet, and drafts each an open-seat email in Mailchimp that waits for your approval before it sends.
How do I fill canceled class seats from the waitlist?
WebRun watches your Like Sew class rosters every morning, spots seats that just opened, and matches each to the next person on the waitlist. It logs the offers to a Google Sheet and drafts each student an open-seat email in Mailchimp, left unsent, so you approve every offer before a canceled seat gets refilled.
- Canceled seats get refilled instead of sitting empty
- The next person in line hears within hours, not days
- Every offer waits for your approval before it sends
Built for quilt shops · fabric stores · sewing class instructors · shop owners

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 email waitlisted students without me?
No. Every open-seat offer is left unsent in Mailchimp. You read each one and send it yourself, so no offer reaches a student until you approve it.
How does it pick who gets the seat?
It reads the live waitlist order in Like Sew and offers the open seat to the next person in line, logging each offer so the same seat is never promised to two people.
What if the seat gets filled another way?
It checks the live class capacity in Like Sew each morning, so once a class is full again it stops drafting offers for that seat.
