Questions, answered

Will it message the Taobao supplier for me?

No. WebRun only tracks order status and files invoices. Messaging a supplier is still done by your purchasing team.

Do I get texted about every order every day?

No. You're only texted the day an order's status changes to shipped. Orders sitting unchanged don't generate a text.

Where do the invoices end up?

Each one is filed in a Google Drive sourcing folder by supplier and order number, moved to a Shipped subfolder once it's on its way.

Put this on autopilot.
