User Interviews Automated Weekly Digest

Every Monday, WebRun opens User Interviews, counts the sessions completed last week and those scheduled for the week ahead per study, appends the tally to a Google Sheet, and posts a clean weekly digest to Slack for the research team.

In short

How do I digest this week's completed and scheduled sessions?

WebRun gives research ops a Monday pulse. It counts last week's completed User Interviews sessions and the week ahead per study, appends the numbers and incentive spend to a Google Sheet, and posts a clean digest to Slack. The team sees throughput, no-shows, and budget in one place, and everything stays internal.

  • A single Monday view of session throughput and spend
  • No-shows and behind-schedule studies visible at a glance
  • A running week over week history without manual tallying

Good to know

Questions, answered

Does the digest go to participants?

No. WebRun logs to your Google Sheet and posts to an internal Slack channel only. Participants never see the digest and are never contacted by this run.

What does the weekly digest include?

It includes completed, no-show, and scheduled session counts per study plus incentive spend, so the team sees throughput and budget in one Monday summary.

Will it keep a running history?

Yes. It appends a new row to the same Google Sheet each week, so completed and scheduled trends build up over time without overwriting past weeks.
