Printavo Automated Customer Production Status Updates

Every afternoon, WebRun opens Printavo and finds jobs that have progressed to a new production stage since the morning, drafts a proactive status update email for each customer in Gmail, and posts a summary of what moved through production today to your internal Slack channel so the team is always aligned.

In short

How do I automatically send customers production status updates for their screen printing orders?

Every afternoon, WebRun scans Printavo for jobs that progressed to a new production stage, drafts a proactive status update email for each customer in Gmail for team review, and posts an internal summary to Slack. No status email reaches a customer without a human reviewing and sending it first.

  • Customers receive proactive updates at every major production milestone
  • Customer emails are personalized and reviewed before sending, not generic auto-blasts
  • The team sees a daily production progress summary in Slack without a stand-up

Questions, answered

Will it email customers about their order status automatically?

No. Every status update is drafted in Gmail and held for your team to review before sending. No customer receives a production update without human approval.

What if multiple jobs for the same customer progressed today?

WebRun consolidates all status changes for the same customer into a single draft email so they receive one update rather than multiple messages in one afternoon.

Which production stages trigger a customer update draft?

You configure the milestone stages during setup. Common triggers are art approved, screens burned, printing complete, and shipped, but you can choose any Printavo status that warrants customer communication.
