Automated AppSheet Urgent Record Alerts
Every hour, WebRun opens your AppSheet app, checks for records marked high priority or urgent, posts each one with its details to a Telegram channel, and texts the on-call number through Twilio when a record is marked critical.
How do I get alerted when an urgent record comes into AppSheet?
WebRun checks your AppSheet app every hour for records marked high priority or urgent, and posts each one with its details to a Telegram channel your team watches. For anything marked critical, it also texts the on-call number through Twilio, so the most time-sensitive submissions get seen within the hour, not the next digest.
- Urgent submissions get seen within the hour
- Critical records reach the on-call person by text
- Nothing in the app is changed, only read and reported

Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Does it text everyone on every urgent record?
No. Every urgent record goes to the Telegram channel, but a text only goes out for records marked critical, and only to the on-call number.
Will it change the record's status or take action in the app?
No. It only reads records and reports on them. Nothing in the AppSheet app is edited or submitted.
How often does it check for new records?
Every hour, so an urgent submission is flagged well within the same working day rather than sitting until a daily digest.
