Automated CoinMarketCap Price Move Alerts
Every hour during market hours, WebRun opens CoinMarketCap, reads the coins on your watchlist, compares each price and 24 hour change against the movement threshold you set, posts only the coins that crossed it to Slack with the size and direction of the move, and escalates the largest swings to Microsoft Teams so the wider team sees them.
How do I get an alert when a coin on my watchlist moves?
WebRun watches your CoinMarketCap watchlist every hour and stays silent until something actually moves. When a coin crosses the percentage threshold you set, it posts the price, the change over 1 and 24 hours and the volume context to Slack, and escalates the largest swings to Microsoft Teams.
- Quiet hours post nothing, so every alert means a real move
- Each alert carries volume context, not just a percentage
- Large swings reach the wider team within the hour

CoinMarketCap - check the watchlist for moves
coinmarketcap.com
WebRun opens CoinMarketCap to check the watchlist for moves. - Open CoinMarketCap and load your saved watchlist
- Capture the current price, 1 hour change, 24 hour change and 24 hour volume for each coin
- Compare each change against the movement threshold you configured, for example 5 percent in 24 hours
- Flag coins whose volume is far above their recent normal, since price moves on thin volume mean less
- Note the market cap rank so a move in a large cap coin reads differently from a small one
Done when Every watchlist coin has been read and each threshold crossing is recorded with its size and direction.

Questions, answered
Will it trade or move funds for me?
No, and it cannot. WebRun only reads prices on CoinMarketCap and posts what it saw to your own channels. It never places an order, never transfers funds and never offers investment advice or a recommendation.
How do I stop it alerting on every small wobble?
Set the threshold. WebRun posts only when a coin crosses the percentage you chose, and escalates to Microsoft Teams only past a second, larger threshold. Below those numbers, nothing is posted at all.
Why does it mention volume alongside the price move?
Because a large price move on unusually thin volume is a weaker signal than the same move on heavy volume. WebRun shows volume against the coin's recent normal so you can read the move in context.
