Automated Yarn Line Launch Drafts

Every morning, WebRun opens Rain POS, finds new yarn lines added to inventory since yesterday, pulls the fiber content, weight, colorways, and product photos, drafts a customer announcement email in Mailchimp, and drafts a matching Facebook post, both left unpublished for your approval.

In short

How do I announce new yarn lines to customers and social media?

WebRun checks Rain POS inventory every morning for yarn lines stocked since yesterday and pulls each fiber content, colorway, and product photo. It drafts a customer announcement email in Mailchimp and a matching Facebook post, both left unpublished, so you approve every word before a new yarn line is announced to shoppers.

  • New yarn lines get promoted the day they arrive
  • One inventory add fills both email and social drafts
  • Nothing publishes until you approve the copy

Questions, answered

Will it post to Facebook or email my list on its own?

No. Both the email and the Facebook post are left as drafts. You review each, tweak the copy, and publish yourself, so nothing goes public without your approval.

Where does the yarn line info come from?

From Rain POS inventory. WebRun reads the brand, fiber content, weight, colorways, and product photos of anything added since the last run, so the announcement is accurate and current.

Can it match my shop voice?

Yes. Give WebRun a tone or a past announcement to mirror and it drafts the email and post in your voice, ready for you to fine-tune before publishing.

Put this on autopilot.
