Automated Video Project Intake

When a new video project inquiry lands, WebRun logs the contact details and project scope to your intake sheet, drafts a confirmation email for the producer to review and send, and posts an alert to the production Slack channel so nothing slips through.

Questions, answered

Will it send the confirmation email automatically?

No. WebRun drafts the confirmation and leaves it in Gmail for the producer to review and send. Nothing goes to the client without a human sign-off.

Which details does it log to the sheet?

It captures client name, contact email, project type, budget range, preferred shoot date, and a timestamp. You can extend the sheet with extra columns and WebRun will fill them in.

Can it handle multiple inquiry channels?

Yes. WebRun can pull from a web form, an email inbox, or a connected contact form and log each source into the same intake sheet with a source column.
