Automated Coda Doc Activity Export

Every Monday, WebRun opens a tracked Coda doc, reads how many rows each key table gained in the past week and who made the most edits, exports the weekly totals as a new row in Google Sheets, and emails the team a short summary through Gmail so doc growth stays visible without opening Coda.

In short

How do I track how fast a Coda doc's tables are growing?

Every Monday, WebRun checks a tracked Coda doc for how many rows each key table gained in the past week and who edited it most, exports the totals as a new row in Google Sheets, and emails the team a short summary through Gmail. This keeps doc growth visible over time without anyone manually counting rows in Coda.

  • Doc growth becomes visible instead of anecdotal
  • A running export history builds up automatically in Sheets
  • The team gets a summary without opening Coda

Questions, answered

Does it edit or clean up any rows in the Coda doc?

No. WebRun only counts rows and reads edit activity. Editing, merging, or cleaning up rows stays your team's work in Coda.

Can I track more than one doc?

Yes, though each doc gets its own weekly row in Google Sheets so growth for different docs never gets mixed together.

Can I see growth trends over months, not just this week?

Yes. Every Monday adds a new row to the same Google Sheets tracker, so growth across weeks and months is easy to chart.

Put this on autopilot.
