Automated commercetools Catalog Sync Alerts
Every morning, WebRun opens the commercetools Merchant Center, checks the status of the latest product catalog import and sync jobs, logs any failure to an Airtable tracker with the error message and affected product count, and creates a Notion task for the dev team on every newly failed job.
How do I catch commercetools catalog sync failures quickly?
WebRun checks the commercetools Merchant Center every morning for the latest catalog import and sync job status, logs any failure to an Airtable tracker with the error message and affected product count, and creates a Notion task for the dev team on every newly failed job. This catches a catalog sync problem before it leaves storefront data stale.
- Sync failures get caught the same morning they happen
- Dev team gets a fix task with the error details already attached
- Resolved jobs drop off the tracker automatically

Questions, answered
Will it fix the sync error automatically?
No. WebRun only reads the job status and reports a failure. Diagnosing and fixing the underlying sync issue stays a developer task.
What counts as a failed job?
Any catalog import or sync job that the Merchant Center itself reports as failed, so the alert reflects commercetools's own job status rather than a guess.
What happens once a job is fixed?
It checks job status again each morning, so a sync that succeeds on retry is marked resolved and drops off the active tracker.
