Automated Battle.net Server Status Alerts

Every hour, WebRun opens Battle.net, checks service status and any scheduled maintenance against the team's practice and match calendar, posts a routine update to Slack, and sends a Telegram alert when an outage overlaps a scrim or match window.

In short

How do I get warned before a Battle.net outage disrupts a scheduled scrim?

WebRun checks Battle.net service status and scheduled maintenance every hour, posts a routine update to Slack, and sends an urgent Telegram alert only when an outage overlaps a scheduled scrim or match. Esports organizations get an early warning before players sit down to a game that is not actually up.

  • Outages overlapping a scrim are flagged within the hour
  • Routine status checks stay out of urgent channels
  • Coaches get a heads up before players waste a practice slot

Questions, answered

Does it change anything in Battle.net or reschedule scrims?

No. WebRun only reads the public service status page. Moving a scrim or match is always a call the team makes.

Why post to both Slack and Telegram?

Slack carries the routine hourly check for anyone catching up later. Telegram is reserved for the rare case where an outage actually overlaps scheduled play, so it stays worth an immediate look.

How current is the status check?

It reads the live status page each hour, so a new incident is reflected within the hour it starts.
