Automated Tally Partial Submission Follow-Ups

Every morning, WebRun opens Tally, reads the partial submissions on your live forms, notes how far each person got and what contact detail they left, drafts a short nudge in Gmail for the ones reachable by email, and posts the whole list to Slack for you to approve.

In short

How do I follow up with people who started my Tally form but never finished?

Every morning, WebRun opens Tally, reads the partial submissions on your live forms, and records what each person filled in before stopping. It drafts a short nudge in Gmail for everyone who left an email address and posts the full list to Slack, so half-finished applications are recovered instead of lost.

  • Half-finished entries get a human nudge the next morning
  • Every drafted email waits for your approval before sending
  • Drop-off points show which question is losing you completions

Questions, answered

Will it email people who abandoned my form?

Not on its own. Every nudge is left as a Gmail draft for you to read and send. WebRun writes the message, you decide whether that person gets contacted at all.

What if the person never left an email address?

They are still listed in Slack, flagged as unreachable. You see the drop-off point, which tells you which question is costing you completions.

Will it chase the same person every morning?

No. WebRun keeps a note of who has already been drafted a nudge and skips them on later runs unless they start the form again.

Put this on autopilot.
