Automated Thinkific Stalled Student Reports
Every Monday, WebRun opens Thinkific, reviews enrolments across your courses, finds students whose progress has not moved in two weeks, notes where each one stalled, posts the list to your Microsoft Teams channel with a drafted check-in message per student, and sends instructors a WhatsApp summary of the counts.
How do I find Thinkific students who stopped progressing through a course?
WebRun opens Thinkific every Monday and finds students whose course progress has not moved in two weeks, noting exactly which lesson each stopped at. It posts the list to Microsoft Teams with a drafted check-in message per student for an instructor to send, and summarises the counts for instructors on WhatsApp.
- Stalled students get a personal nudge within a week
- Lessons where several students stop are named every Monday
- Instructors start from a drafted message rather than a blank page

How is each run configured?
Secure by default
Connect once, stays signed in
WebRun signs in once and keeps each session in a persistent environment, so every run picks up right where it left off.
Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Will it email students on its own?
No. Every check-in message is drafted and posted internally to Microsoft Teams. An instructor reads it, edits it, and sends it. WebRun never emails or messages a student directly.
Can it change enrolments or course content?
No. WebRun reads progress data in Thinkific only. It never unenrols a student, never issues a refund, and never edits a lesson. All of that stays with your team.
How does it know a student stalled rather than finished?
It compares completion percentage against last activity date. A student who is finished is excluded, so the list holds only people who stopped partway through and have been quiet for two weeks.
