Automated Attentive Sign-Up Unit Alerts

Every morning, WebRun opens Attentive, reads how many subscribers each sign-up unit collected yesterday, compares it with that unit's recent normal, posts a health summary to Microsoft Teams, and pings Telegram when a unit has stopped collecting so a broken form is fixed the same day.

In short

How do I find out when an Attentive sign-up unit stops collecting subscribers?

WebRun opens Attentive every morning and reads how many subscribers each sign-up unit collected yesterday, comparing it with that unit's recent average. It posts a growth summary to Microsoft Teams and pings Telegram when a unit goes quiet, so a broken or hidden sign-up form is found the same day.

  • A broken sign-up unit is caught the same day, not at month end
  • Every unit is measured against its own normal, not a flat rule
  • Daily list growth is visible to the whole retention channel

Questions, answered

Will it change my sign-up units or campaigns?

No. WebRun only reads Attentive and reports what it finds. Editing, pausing, or republishing a sign-up unit stays with your team, and nothing is changed on your account.

How does it know a unit has stopped rather than had a slow day?

It compares yesterday's subscribers with that unit's own recent daily average, so a quiet Sunday reads as normal while a unit that dropped to zero gets flagged.

Does it message subscribers?

Never. The only messages it sends are the internal summary in Microsoft Teams and the alert in Telegram. No subscriber is contacted by this workflow.

Put this on autopilot.
