Automated Appwrite Usage Limit Alerts
Through the day, WebRun opens the Appwrite console, reads bandwidth, storage, executions, and database usage for each project against the plan allowance, sends the on-call engineer a Twilio text the moment a threshold is crossed, and posts the running percentages to your team WhatsApp group.
How do I get alerted before Appwrite usage hits my plan limit?
WebRun checks your Appwrite projects hourly, reading bandwidth, storage, executions, and database usage against your plan allowance. When a metric crosses the threshold you set, it texts the on-call engineer through Twilio and posts the running percentages to your team WhatsApp group, so limits are seen coming.
- The team hears about a limit before users do
- One text per crossed threshold, not one per check
- Usage trend is visible in the group chat all day
Built for backend engineers · startup CTOs · platform teams · indie developers

Twilio - text the on-call engineer
twilio.com
WebRun opens Twilio to text the on-call engineer. - Send a short text through Twilio only when a metric crosses the threshold you set, for example 80 percent of allowance
- Address it only to the on-call numbers on your own roster, never to a customer or an end user
- Put the project, the metric, and the percentage in the first line so it reads on a lock screen

Done when The on-call engineer has been texted once per crossed threshold, with no repeats inside the cooldown.

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 text my customers?
No. Twilio texts go only to the on-call numbers you register yourself, and nowhere else. WebRun never messages an end user, a customer, or anyone outside that roster, and it never sends marketing of any kind.
Can it upgrade my plan or change project settings?
No. WebRun only reads the usage panel in Appwrite. It never upgrades a plan, buys capacity, deletes data, or edits a project. Every change to your account stays yours to make.
How do I stop alert spam on a busy day?
Set a threshold and a cooldown window. WebRun texts once when a metric crosses the line and then stays quiet for the cooldown, while the WhatsApp group keeps showing the running numbers.
