In short

How do I get alerted before a SigmaNEST quote turnaround slips?

WebRun checks every open quote in SigmaNEST each morning against your turnaround target and posts a Slack list of anything at risk of going late, sorted oldest first. For quotes past target, it drafts a customer status update in Gmail and leaves it unsent for your estimator to review and send.

  • At-risk quotes get flagged the same morning, not after a customer calls
  • Every past-target quote gets a drafted customer update ready to send
  • Estimators start the day with a sorted list instead of scanning SigmaNEST manually

Questions, answered

Will it email customers without me seeing it first?

No. WebRun only drafts the status update in Gmail. Nothing goes to a customer until your estimator reviews and sends it.

How does it decide a quote is at risk?

It compares each open quote's age in SigmaNEST against the turnaround target you set, so you can tune it separately for simple and complex jobs.

What happens once a quote is won or lost?

It reads the live quote status in SigmaNEST each morning, so anything already closed drops off the at-risk list automatically.
