Automated GorillaDesk Trap-Check Reminders
Each afternoon, WebRun opens GorillaDesk, finds every trap-check visit scheduled for tomorrow, drafts a short reminder text in Twilio for each customer, and posts your office a Slack list of the day's drafts so a human can approve and send them in one pass.
How do I automatically remind customers before a trap-check visit?
WebRun checks GorillaDesk every afternoon for tomorrow's trap-check visits, drafts a short reminder text in Twilio for each customer with the arrival window, and posts your office a Slack list of the day's drafts. Your team reviews and sends them in one pass, so customers know when to expect a technician and traps stay on schedule.
- Every customer on tomorrow's trap-check route gets a reminder drafted in advance
- Office staff sends a full day's reminders in one review pass
- Traps stay on a checked-within-24-hours schedule
Built for wildlife removal companies · nuisance wildlife trappers · licensed trappers · field service dispatch teams

Questions, answered
Will it text customers without anyone reviewing the message first?
No. Every reminder is queued as a draft in Twilio for your office to review and approve. Nothing sends to a customer on its own.
Why remind customers about a trap-check at all?
Many local ordinances require live traps to be checked at least once every 24 hours, and a heads up on timing means someone is usually home to let the technician onto the property.
What if a visit gets rescheduled overnight?
It reads the live schedule in GorillaDesk each afternoon, so any visit moved or cancelled after the drafts are queued is easy to spot and pull before sending.
