Automated Adyen Payment Refusal Monitoring

Every hour, WebRun signs into Adyen, reads the payments refused in the last hour, groups them by refusal reason, payment method, and issuing country, compares the authorisation rate against your normal band, posts the breakdown to Microsoft Teams, and texts you when refusals spike.

In short

How do I spot a spike in refused card payments quickly?

Every hour WebRun signs into Adyen, reads the payments refused in the last hour, and groups them by refusal reason, payment method, and issuing country. It compares the authorisation rate against your normal band, posts the breakdown to Microsoft Teams, and texts you through Twilio when refusals spike.

  • A broken payment method is caught in an hour, not at month end
  • Every alert names the refusal reason driving the jump
  • Quiet hours stop triggering false alarms

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it retry or refund any payments?

No. Retrying a charge or issuing a refund moves real money, so WebRun never does either. It reports the refusals and the reasons, and a person makes the call in Adyen.

Does it contact the shoppers whose payment failed?

No. Everything stays internal: a Teams post and a text to your on-call owner. No shopper is emailed or messaged from this run.

How does it know a rate is abnormal?

It compares each hour's authorisation rate against the same hour in previous weeks and against the threshold you set, so an ordinary quiet hour does not trigger an alert.

Put this on autopilot.
