Questions, answered
Will it contact the new supplier automatically?
No. WebRun drafts the document request email in Gmail and leaves it for your compliance team to review, personalise, and send. Supplier outreach must be approved by a human before it is sent.
What happens if the denied-party screening returns a match?
If a match is found, the Airtable record is flagged as Blocked and the onboarding checklist is paused. Your compliance team receives an immediate alert and must clear the match before the onboarding can proceed.
Which compliance documents does it request from the supplier?
The standard checklist covers W-8 or W-9 tax forms, country-of-origin declarations, product certifications, and any commodity-specific documents. Your team can customise the checklist in Airtable to match your supplier approval policy.
