Questions, answered

Will it file anything or respond to a deadline?

No. WebRun only tracks deadlines and schedules time. It never files a document, submits a response, or edits a matter on its own.

How far ahead does it flag a deadline?

It checks every active matter each morning for anything due in the next three days, so there's real working time booked before the deadline arrives.

What happens once a deadline is met?

It reads the live status in Zola Suite each morning, so a completed task stops appearing in the alert and calendar holds.

Put this on autopilot.
