Automated Method Learning Test Date Reminders

Every morning, WebRun checks Method Learning for each student's enrolled test track, cross references the practice test date roster in Google Sheets, and drafts a text reminder in Twilio for your team to review and send to students with a test coming up in the next week.

In short

How do I remind students about upcoming practice test dates automatically?

WebRun checks Method Learning each morning for every active student's SAT or ACT track, matches them against the practice test date roster in Google Sheets, and drafts a short reminder text in Twilio for students testing within a week. Your team reviews and sends the queue, so no one misses test day and nothing texts a student unsupervised.

  • No student misses a practice test date without a reminder queued
  • Reminder texts always match the latest roster, no stale dates
  • Nothing texts a student without your team's review

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will students get a text without anyone checking it?

No. WebRun only queues the reminder text in Twilio. Nothing sends until your team reviews and approves the queue.

How does it pick who needs a reminder?

It matches each active student in Method Learning to their test date in your Google Sheets roster, and only queues a reminder for students testing in the next seven days.

What happens to students who already rescheduled?

It reads the live roster in Google Sheets each morning, so a student moved to a new date is matched to the new one instead of the old one.

Put this on autopilot.
