Questions, answered

Does WebRun post replies to Reddit on my behalf?

No - it only reads and logs mentions. Responding to Reddit threads is a human decision; WebRun just makes sure you never miss a conversation.

How do I tell WebRun what to search for?

Give it a list of keywords: your brand name, product names, common misspellings, and competitor mentions you want to watch. Update the list in the plan any time.

Can it cover other forums beyond Reddit?

Yes - add specific subreddits, industry forums, or community sites to the search plan and WebRun will include them in the daily sweep.

Put this on autopilot.
