In short

How do I notify customers when their special-order fabric arrives?

WebRun checks your Like Sew special orders and holds every morning, finds items received since yesterday, and matches each to the customer who requested it. It drafts every customer a pickup text in Twilio for your approval and posts your counter team a Slack list of who to expect, so fabric leaves the hold shelf faster.

  • Customers hear the day their order arrives, not a week later
  • Hold shelves clear faster and free up space
  • Every text waits for your approval before it sends

Questions, answered

Will it text customers without my approval?

No. Every pickup text is queued for your approval in Twilio. You review the batch and release it, so nothing reaches a customer until you approve it.

How does it match an order to the right customer?

It reads the special-order and hold records in Like Sew, which link each received item to the customer who requested it and their mobile number, so the right person gets the right text.

What about orders already picked up?

It reads the live status in Like Sew each morning, so anything already collected or still on order is skipped and never texted again.

Put this on autopilot.
