Automated USPS Service Alert Monitoring
Every morning, WebRun opens USPS, reads the service alerts published overnight, works out which ZIP codes, mail classes, and delivery standards are affected, checks your in-flight tracking numbers against them, posts the brief to Microsoft Teams, and messages your shipping lead on Telegram.
How do I find out which USPS service disruptions affect my shipments?
Every morning WebRun opens the USPS service alerts, reads the disruptions published overnight, and works out which ZIP codes, mail classes, and delivery standards they affect. It posts the brief to Microsoft Teams and messages your shipping lead on Telegram before customers start asking.
- Disruptions are known before the first customer email arrives
- Alerts are matched to your own in-flight parcels, not read in the abstract
- Customer wording is drafted and waiting, never sent automatically
Built for shipping leads · ecommerce operations · fulfilment teams · customer support managers

Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Will it email my customers about delays?
No. WebRun drafts the customer wording and posts it into your own Microsoft Teams channel as suggested text. A person edits and sends it, so no customer hears from WebRun directly.
Does it change any shipping labels or orders?
No. It reads published alerts and your tracking numbers only. It never buys postage, reroutes a parcel, changes a service level, or files a claim.
What if an alert does not affect my shipments?
It is reported in the Teams brief for the record but kept out of the Telegram message, so your shipping lead only gets pinged about regions where you actually have parcels moving.
