How do I get alerted about new 23andMe DNA relative matches for client research?

WebRun checks a client's 23andMe DNA Relatives page every morning, compares the match list against the last check, and logs any new match to a Trello research card with estimated relationship and shared DNA percentage. It updates the genealogy team in Microsoft Teams, flagging close relatives for priority review.

  • Close relative matches get flagged for priority follow-up
  • Every client file keeps a running log of matches for reference

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it message a newly found relative on our behalf?

No. WebRun only reads the match list and logs it for the research file. Reaching out to a match is a decision made by the client or researcher, not WebRun.

Does it access anything beyond the DNA Relatives match list?

It reads the match list, the estimated relationship, and shared DNA percentage, the same summary data already shown on that page. It doesn't pull raw genetic data.

How does it flag a close relative as priority?

It flags matches estimated as close relatives, like a parent, sibling, or first cousin, based on the shared DNA percentage 23andMe already provides.

Put this on autopilot.
