Automated Tumblr Ask Inbox Management
Every morning, WebRun opens your Tumblr inbox, reads new Asks, reblogs, and mentions since the last run, drafts a reply to each Ask, posts the queue to Slack for review, and pings Telegram if the unanswered backlog crosses your threshold.
How do I keep up with my Tumblr ask inbox without falling behind?
WebRun reads your Tumblr inbox every morning, catching new Asks, reblogs, and mentions since the last run. It drafts a reply to each Ask and posts the queue to Slack for review, pinging Telegram only if the unanswered backlog grows past your limit, so your inbox never quietly piles up unnoticed.
- Every new Ask gets a drafted reply the same morning it arrives
- A growing backlog gets flagged before it becomes unmanageable
- Nothing posts publicly to Tumblr without a human's approval
Built for brand Tumblr accounts · fandom and media pages · creators · community managers

Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Will it answer Asks on Tumblr without me?
No. Every reply is drafted and posted to Slack for review. Nothing gets posted publicly on Tumblr until a human approves it.
When do I get pinged on Telegram?
Only when the unanswered Ask backlog crosses the limit you set. Normal daily volume stays in Slack and doesn't page you.
Does it track reblogs too, not just Asks?
Yes. It reads new reblogs and mentions alongside Asks, so you see the full picture of what's happening on your Tumblr each morning.
