Automated Textline Unanswered Conversation Alerts

Every hour, WebRun checks Textline for inbound conversations that have gone unanswered past your set window, logs each one to a Google Sheets worklist with the assigned rep, and emails the manager a nudge so a customer text does not sit without a reply for another shift.

In short

How do I make sure Textline conversations do not go unanswered?

WebRun checks Textline every hour for inbound conversations left unanswered past your response window, logs each one to Google Sheets with the assigned rep, and emails the manager a nudge, so a customer text never sits without a reply simply because no one happened to notice it.

  • Stale conversations are caught within the hour they go overdue
  • Managers get a direct nudge instead of a delayed report
  • Answered conversations drop off the worklist automatically

Questions, answered

Does WebRun reply to the customer text?

No. It only tracks how long a conversation has gone unanswered and nudges the manager internally. Any reply is sent by your team from Textline directly.

What counts as the response window?

Whatever you set as acceptable, for example 2 business hours. Only conversations still open past that window get logged and nudged.

What happens once a rep replies?

The next hourly check sees the reply logged in Textline and the conversation drops off the stale worklist automatically.

Put this on autopilot.
