Automated StarRez Application Status Digest
Every morning, WebRun opens StarRez, reviews every housing application submitted or updated since the last run, logs the counts by status to a tracking sheet, and posts your housing team a Slack digest of new submissions, incomplete applications, and this week's approvals.
How do I get a daily digest of housing application statuses?
WebRun checks StarRez every morning for housing applications that are new or updated, groups them by status, submitted, incomplete, under review, or approved, and logs the counts to a tracking sheet. It then posts your housing team a Slack digest that flags any application stuck for more than 5 days, so nothing stalls in the queue unnoticed.
- Housing staff see today's application counts before their first meeting
- Stuck applications get flagged after 5 days instead of sitting unnoticed
- No manual status count, the tracker sheet updates itself every morning
Built for university housing offices · residence life staff · housing application coordinators · student affairs teams

WebRun signs in once and keeps each session in a persistent environment, so every run picks up right where it left off.
Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Does it contact applicants directly?
No. WebRun only logs counts and posts an internal digest to your housing team. It never emails or messages applicants on its own.
How does it spot stuck applications?
It flags any application that has sat in the same status for more than 5 days, so incomplete or stalled applications don't get lost in the queue.
What if an application status changes mid-day?
It reads the live status in StarRez each morning, so the next digest always reflects the latest state, no manual refresh needed.
