In short

How do I remind residents about overdue housing balances?

Every Monday, WebRun checks StarRez for residents with a housing balance past its due date and drafts a payment reminder email in Gmail naming the amount owed, left unsent for your billing team to review. It also logs the full list to a tracking sheet ranked by amount and days overdue, so the largest, oldest balances get chased first.

  • The largest, oldest balances get chased first every Monday
  • Billing staff review and send, so no resident is contacted unchecked
  • Paid balances drop off the list automatically from live StarRez data

Built for university housing billing teams · residence life business offices · student accounts staff · housing operations teams

Questions, answered

Will it email residents about their balance automatically?

No. WebRun drafts every reminder in Gmail and leaves it unsent. Your billing team reviews and sends each one, so no resident is contacted about money without a human checking it first.

How does it avoid reminding the same resident twice?

It skips any balance already reminded within the last 7 days, so residents don't get duplicate reminders for the same outstanding charge.

What if a resident already paid?

It reads the live balance in StarRez each Monday, so anyone who paid since the last run drops off the list automatically.

Put this on autopilot.
