Automated Shelter Post-Adoption Check-In Emails

A set number of days after an adoption is finalised in Shelterluv, WebRun finds the adopter's contact details, drafts a warm check-in email asking how the pet is settling in, and queues it in Gmail for staff to review and send.

In short

How do I automatically send post-adoption check-ins to new pet owners?

WebRun checks Shelterluv each morning for adoptions that have reached your chosen follow-up milestone, drafts a personalised check-in email for each adopter in Gmail, and posts a summary to Slack so staff can review and send. Every adopted family hears from the shelter on schedule, without staff having to remember to reach out.

  • Every adopting family receives a timely, personalised check-in on schedule
  • Staff review drafts instead of writing individual emails from scratch
  • No adoption falls through the cracks after the animal leaves the shelter

Questions, answered

Will it send the check-in email without staff approval?

No. Every check-in is drafted and left unsent in Gmail. A staff member reviews and sends it, ensuring no message reaches an adopter without a human check.

When does the check-in go out after adoption?

You set the number of days. Common choices are 3 days, 1 week, or 30 days. WebRun checks every morning and drafts check-ins for adoptions that hit the threshold that day.

Can it handle multiple check-in milestones, such as one week and one month?

Yes. Configure multiple day thresholds and WebRun will draft a check-in at each milestone, with different message templates for each.
