Automated Anaplan Import Failure Checks
Every morning, WebRun opens Anaplan, reviews every import and action that ran overnight across your models, picks out the ones that failed or finished with errors, reads the error log for each, raises a Trello card holding those lines, and messages you the pass and fail count on WhatsApp.
How do I check whether my overnight Anaplan imports succeeded?
WebRun reviews every Anaplan import and action that ran overnight, picking out the ones that failed, errored, or never started. It raises a Trello card per failure with the error lines attached and messages you the pass and fail count on WhatsApp, so nobody plans on yesterday's numbers.
- Failed loads are known at 7 AM, before anyone opens a dashboard
- Error lines arrive with the card, so the fix skips a lookup
- A scheduled load that never started is caught, not mistaken for success
Built for model builders · FP&A teams · data engineers · Anaplan administrators

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 re-run a failed import?
No. WebRun only reads run history and error logs in Anaplan. It never starts, retries, or cancels an action, and it never changes model data. Every failure becomes a Trello card for a person to work.
Does it catch loads that never ran?
Yes. It compares what should have run overnight against what actually ran, so a scheduled load that never started gets its own card rather than passing as silence.
What lands in the card?
The model, the workspace, the action name, the run time, and the failing lines from the error log, so the fix starts without a second trip into Anaplan.
