Automated Merlin Maintenance Fee Reminders

Every Monday, WebRun opens Merlin Software, pulls every owner account with a maintenance fee balance past its due date, drafts a polite reminder email to each owner in Gmail, leaves every draft unsent for your review, and logs the full past due list to Google Sheets so you always know who still owes.

In short

How do I automatically chase overdue timeshare maintenance fees?

Every Monday, WebRun opens Merlin Software, finds every owner account with a maintenance fee balance past its due date, and drafts a polite reminder email for each one in Gmail. Every draft is left unsent for your review, and the full past due list lands in Google Sheets, so overdue fees get chased every week instead of whenever someone remembers.

  • Past due maintenance fees get a reminder every week, not just at year end
  • Every reminder is drafted and waiting, so you just review and send
  • The chase list shows the oldest and largest balances first

Questions, answered

Will it email owners without me?

No. WebRun only drafts each reminder in Gmail and leaves it unsent. You read every message and click send, so no reminder reaches an owner without your approval first.

How does it know which owners are past due?

It reads the live balance and due date on each owner account in Merlin Software every Monday and lists only those past their due date.

What if an owner already paid?

It checks the live balance in Merlin Software each run, so anyone who has paid since the last reminder is skipped and dropped from that week's list automatically.

Put this on autopilot.
