Automated Workana Proposal Alerts

Every hour, WebRun checks your open Workana project for new proposals, compares each freelancer's rate, delivery estimate, and star rating against the bar you set, logs every proposal to a Trello shortlist, and pings your WhatsApp the moment one clears the bar.

In short

How do I get notified when a strong freelancer proposal comes in on Workana?

WebRun checks your open Workana project every hour for new freelancer proposals, comparing each one's rate, delivery estimate, and star rating against the bar you set. Every proposal is logged to a Trello shortlist, and the moment one clears your bar, WebRun sends you a WhatsApp ping so you never miss a strong candidate.

  • Strong freelancer matches get a WhatsApp ping within the hour
  • Every proposal is logged to Trello so none get lost
  • You only spend review time on candidates who already clear your bar

Questions, answered

Will it hire or message a freelancer for me?

No. WebRun only logs proposals and pings you. Replying to a freelancer or accepting a proposal stays a decision you make yourself on Workana.

How does it decide a proposal is strong?

It compares the freelancer's rate, delivery estimate, and star rating against the bar you set when you turn the workflow on, so the ping only fires for genuine matches.

What happens to proposals that don't qualify?

They're still logged to the Trello Review list so nothing gets lost. They just don't trigger a WhatsApp ping.

Put this on autopilot.
