Studio Hero Automated Equipment Return Reminders
Every morning, WebRun checks Studio Hero's equipment checkout list for anything due back today or already overdue, updates a Google Sheets checkout log with the current status, and sends the engineer or staff member holding the gear a WhatsApp reminder.
How do I remind staff to return studio equipment on time?
WebRun checks Studio Hero's equipment log every morning for gear due back today or already overdue, updates a Google Sheets checkout log, and sends the engineer or staff member holding it a WhatsApp reminder naming the item and the session it belongs to. Because it's an internal reminder, not a customer message, WebRun sends it automatically without review.
- Overdue gear gets flagged the same morning it's due
- Fewer missing mics and cables at the next session
- A full checkout log without manual spreadsheet updates

Questions, answered
Does this remind clients to return anything?
No. It only reminds internal staff and engineers who checked gear out. Clients are never messaged by this workflow.
How does it know an item was returned?
It reads the live checkout status in Studio Hero each run, so anything checked back in drops off the reminder list automatically.
Can it catch gear that's already overdue, not just due today?
Yes. It flags anything already past its due date as Overdue, alongside items due back today, so nothing quietly goes missing.
