Automated Coolors Brand Palette Sync
Every night, WebRun opens Coolors, reads the palettes in your brand collections, compares each colour against what is published in Notion, updates the hex values and the export format notes where they differ, and posts to Slack whenever a colour the team already uses has changed.
How do I keep my brand palette hex values current for the team?
WebRun opens Coolors every night, reads the palettes in your brand collections, and compares each hex value against the brand page in Notion. It updates anything that moved, date stamps the page, and posts to Slack when a colour already in use has changed, so the team always has current values.
- The current hex values sit in Notion, date stamped, every morning
- A changed brand colour reaches the design channel the night it changes
- Developers stop guessing colours from screenshots and exports

Questions, answered
Will it change my palettes in Coolors?
No. WebRun reads your collections and publishes the values into Notion. Editing or deleting a palette stays in Coolors with the designer who owns it, so the source of truth is never touched.
How is this different from routing a palette for approval?
Approval happens before a palette is adopted. This run happens after: it keeps the approved values published where designers and developers actually look, so nobody rebuilds a colour by eye from a screenshot.
What if a colour changes after developers already shipped it?
WebRun posts the old and new hex side by side in Slack the night it changes, so the team hears about it while the change is small rather than finding a mismatch weeks later.
