Automated Clever App Usage Reporting

Every Monday, WebRun opens Clever, reads last week's login and usage figures for each connected application, ranks them from most to least used, opens a Trello review card for any app barely touched, and sends the district summary to WhatsApp.

In short

How do I find out which school software licences are going unused?

WebRun opens Clever every Monday and reads last week's logins and active users for each connected application, broken down by school. It ranks them, opens a Trello review card for any app that stayed unused two weeks running, and sends the district summary to WhatsApp.

  • Licence renewals get decided on real usage, not guesswork
  • Quiet schools surface instead of hiding behind a district average
  • No student-level data leaves Clever

Questions, answered

Does it share student data?

No. WebRun reports aggregate counts only: logins and active users per application per school. It never copies a student name, an email, a roster entry, or any individual pupil record into Trello or WhatsApp.

Will it remove an app or change access?

No. WebRun never disconnects an application, revokes access, edits a sharing rule, or changes a roster. Low usage produces a Trello card for a human to review, and the decision to cut a licence stays with your team.

How low is low usage?

You set the threshold, and an app has to stay below it two weeks running before a card is created. That double check keeps a half-term break or a testing week from flagging tools the schools genuinely use.

Put this on autopilot.
