Automated Code Climate Issue Triage
Every night, WebRun opens Code Climate, collects the issues newly introduced across your repositories that day, reads the file, the rule that fired, and who made the change, opens a Trello card for each one on your triage board, and sends the tech lead a WhatsApp summary.
How do I triage new code quality issues every night?
Every night WebRun opens Code Climate, collects the issues newly introduced across your repositories that day, reads the file, the rule that fired, and the change behind it, then opens a Trello card per issue and sends the tech lead a WhatsApp summary, so debt is assigned the day it appears.
- New debt gets an owner the day it appears
- Every card names the file and the rule, not just a score
- Repositories whose rating dropped are called out by name
Built for tech leads · engineering managers · platform teams · agency development shops

How is each run configured?
Secure by default
Connect once, stays signed in
WebRun signs in once and keeps each session in a persistent environment, so every run picks up right where it left off.
Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Will it change my code or comment on pull requests?
No. WebRun reads the issue list and creates internal Trello cards. It never edits a file, opens a pull request, or posts a comment where your contributors would see it.
Will it flood the board with the existing backlog?
No. It only picks up issues introduced since the last run, so the first night is a normal day's worth rather than every open issue in the repository.
Can it cover several repositories?
Yes. WebRun walks each repository you grant it and labels every card with the repository name, so one board covers the whole team.
