In short

How do I automatically send reminder emails for my shelter adoption events?

WebRun checks Petstablished every morning for adoption events in the next two days, reads the registered attendee list, and drafts a personalised reminder email for each registrant in Gmail with event details and featured animals. It also posts a staff briefing to Slack so the team is prepared. Every registrant hears from the shelter before the event.

  • Every event registrant receives a timely reminder before the adoption day
  • No-show rates drop when attendees get a personal, detailed reminder
  • Staff arrive at every event with a clear briefing from Slack

Questions, answered

Will it send reminder emails to registrants without staff approval?

No. All reminder emails are drafted and left unsent in Gmail. Staff review and click Send, so no message goes out to an attendee without human approval.

How far in advance does it draft the reminders?

It checks each morning for events within the next two days, so reminders are drafted roughly 24 to 48 hours before the event. You can adjust this window.

Does it include information about the animals available at the event?

Yes. It reads any featured animals listed in the Petstablished event record and includes them in the reminder email to help attendees get excited and come prepared.
