In short

How do I remind participants of their upcoming session slot?

WebRun keeps tomorrow's sessions warm. Each morning it lists the next day's User Interviews bookings, confirms every slot against your Google Calendar, and drafts a friendly Gmail reminder per participant with their time and join link. Each draft waits for your review, so participants are only messaged after you approve and send.

  • Fewer no-shows from timely, personal reminders
  • Every session confirmed against the calendar before it runs
  • Reminders drafted in minutes, reviewed and sent in one pass

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it message participants without me?

No. WebRun drafts each reminder in Gmail and leaves it unsent. You review the time and join link, then send it yourself, so nothing goes out on its own.

How does it know which sessions are tomorrow?

It filters User Interviews sessions to the next calendar day and cross-checks each one against your Google Calendar, so only real, confirmed slots get a reminder drafted.

What if a participant already rescheduled?

It reads the live session time in User Interviews each morning, so a moved or canceled slot is picked up and the old reminder is never drafted.

Put this on autopilot.
