Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it send emails to plan sponsors without my approval?

No. Every follow-up email is saved as a Gmail draft. A staff member must open, review, and send each one. Nothing goes to a sponsor automatically.

What if a sponsor already submitted their census data?

WebRun reads the current status in ftwilliam.com each run, so any plan whose census has been received is skipped and not drafted for chase.

Can I customize the follow-up email tone or template?

Yes. Give WebRun your preferred wording or a sample email and it will match your firm's voice and include the correct plan-specific details in each draft.

Put this on autopilot.
