Automated Takealot Seller Order Digest
Every evening, WebRun opens the Takealot Seller Portal, captures new orders and today's running total, checks whether any listing lost buy box status, logs it all to an Airtable base, and emails the seller a digest so the day's selling activity is never a surprise the next morning.
How do I get a daily digest of my Takealot seller activity?
WebRun checks the Takealot Seller Portal every evening for new orders, the day's running total, and any listing that lost buy box status, logs it to an Airtable base, and emails the seller a daily digest. This keeps a marketplace seller's daily activity visible without logging into the portal each night.
- Daily order activity lands in your inbox every evening
- Buy box losses are caught the same day they happen
- Airtable holds a running order record without manual entry

Questions, answered
Will it adjust prices to win back buy box?
No. WebRun only reports a buy box change. Adjusting price or stock to compete for it stays a decision the seller makes.
What counts as a buy box loss?
Any listing that shows another seller as the default offer at the time of the check gets flagged, based on what the Seller Portal is showing.
Does the digest include returns?
This digest focuses on new orders and buy box status. Return handling is a separate check outside this workflow.
