Automated Sawyer Coding Badge Completion Alerts
Every night, WebRun opens Sawyer, finds every coding badge an instructor marked complete that day, drafts a personalized congratulations email naming the student and the badge in Gmail, and posts your team a Slack summary of who earned what.
How do I automatically notify parents when their child earns a coding badge?
WebRun checks Sawyer every night for coding badges your instructors marked complete that day, then drafts a personalized congratulations email in Gmail naming the student and the badge earned. It also posts your team a Slack summary of who progressed. No email sends without your team's review, so every family hears the good news without anyone writing it from scratch.
- Every earned badge gets a family celebration drafted the same night
- Instructors see a daily summary of student progress without checking Sawyer manually
- No congratulations email goes out without a human reading it first
Built for coding class instructors · STEM studio owners · after school coding program directors

Questions, answered
Will it email families without my team reviewing it first?
No. Every congratulations email is saved as an unsent Gmail draft. Your team reviews the Slack summary, checks the drafts, and sends them. Nothing reaches a family automatically.
How does it know a badge was actually earned?
It only reads badges and skill levels your instructors have already marked complete in Sawyer. WebRun does not decide who passes. It just turns that record into a ready-to-send celebration.
What if two instructors mark the same badge by mistake?
WebRun checks for an existing draft before writing a new one, so a badge that already has a congratulations email queued will not get a duplicate.
