In short

How do I follow up on open timeshare exchange requests automatically?

Every Monday, WebRun opens Merlin Software and checks the status of every open week or points exchange request against last week's status. For any request that changed, it drafts an owner update in Gmail and leaves it unsent for your review. Every open request, changed or not, is logged to Airtable so your coordinator has a current follow up list.

  • Owners get a status update the same week their exchange request changes
  • The coordinator sees every open request and how long it has waited
  • Stale requests over your threshold get flagged instead of forgotten

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it email owners about their exchange without me?

No. Every status update is saved as a Gmail draft. You review it and click send, so nothing reaches an owner until you approve it.

How does it know a request changed?

It compares this week's status in Merlin Software to what it recorded last week, so only genuine changes get a draft update, while unchanged requests just stay on the tracker.

What counts as stale?

You set the threshold. WebRun flags any request open longer than that number of days so your coordinator can chase it directly instead of waiting on the system.

Put this on autopilot.
