Automated Zoho Notebook Action Tracking
Every evening, WebRun opens Zoho Notebook, reads the notes and checklists you created or edited today, pulls out every action item with its owner and any date mentioned, appends them to a Google Sheets action log, and drafts a short follow-up email in Gmail to each owner so nothing agreed in a meeting is lost in a note.
How do I turn my meeting notes into tracked action items?
WebRun reads the notes and checklists you wrote in Zoho Notebook each evening and pulls out every action item with its owner and due date. It appends them to a Google Sheets action log, highlights the ones with nobody named, and drafts a follow-up email per owner in Gmail for you to send.
- Actions leave the notebook the same day they are written
- Owners get a follow-up you approved, not a raw note dump
- Unowned actions are highlighted instead of quietly dropped
Built for project managers · consultants · small business owners · operations teams

How is each run configured?
Secure by default
Connect once, stays signed in
WebRun signs in once and keeps each session in a persistent environment, so every run picks up right where it left off.
Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Will it email my colleagues without me?
No. Every follow-up sits in your Gmail drafts folder until you read it and press send, so an action pulled out of a rough note never reaches a colleague unchecked.
Does it change my notes?
No. WebRun reads Zoho Notebook only. It never edits a note, ticks a checklist item, moves a card between notebooks, or deletes anything, so your notes stay exactly as you wrote them.
What happens to actions with nobody named?
They still get logged, with the owner column blank and the row highlighted in the Google Sheets action log, and they are listed in a note drafted to you so you can assign them the next morning.
