Stop questions going unanswered in your communities

Every afternoon, WebRun opens Viva Engage, walks the communities you follow for questions with no reply or no marked best answer, works out how long each has waited, pings the community manager on WhatsApp with the ageing list, and drafts a Gmail nudge to the subject expert for anything past a day.

In short

How do I make sure community questions get answered?

WebRun chases unanswered Viva Engage questions every afternoon. It reads the communities you watch, lists questions with no reply or no best answer along with their waiting time, pings the community manager on WhatsApp, and drafts a Gmail nudge to the right expert for review.

  • Every unanswered question is surfaced the same day it ages
  • First posts from new joiners never sit ignored
  • Experts get a written, reviewed nudge instead of a public callout

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it post a reply in the community?

No. WebRun never posts, comments, reacts, or marks a best answer in Viva Engage. It only reads which questions are waiting and routes them to a human internally.

Does it email anyone on its own?

No. Every nudge is left unsent in Gmail Drafts. A person reads it, edits if needed, and presses send, so no colleague gets an automated chase.

How does it know a question was answered?

It reads the live thread each run. A question with a reply, or with a best answer marked, drops off the list and no further nudge is drafted.

Put this on autopilot.
