Automated Backlog Weekly Issue Scorecard

Every Friday, WebRun opens Backlog, pulls this week's issue counts by status along with the linked commit activity, logs the full scorecard to Google Sheets for the record, and updates the shared status page in Notion so the wider team can see engineering progress without needing a Backlog login.

In short

How do I get a weekly scorecard of Backlog issues and commits?

WebRun checks Backlog every Friday for this week's issue counts by status and linked Git activity, logs the full scorecard to Google Sheets for the record, and updates a shared Notion status page, so stakeholders outside engineering can see weekly progress without needing a Backlog login or waiting on a status update.

  • Stakeholders see engineering progress without a Backlog login
  • A running weekly scorecard builds up in Sheets
  • Issue and commit activity is summarized without manual reporting

Questions, answered

Does WebRun close issues or touch the codebase?

No. It only reads issue status and commit history. Closing an issue or pushing code is always done by your engineering team.

Can non-engineers see this without a Backlog login?

Yes. That's the purpose of updating the Notion status page: stakeholders can check progress there without Backlog access.

Does it expose commit content?

No. It only reports commit counts and links already visible in Backlog, not the code changes themselves.

Put this on autopilot.
