Automated Count Metric Threshold Alerts

Every few minutes, WebRun opens your tracked Count doc, reads the current value of your key metric, posts a status update to your ops Telegram group, and texts you through Twilio the moment it crosses the threshold you set.

In short

How do I get alerted when a metric in my Count doc crosses a threshold?

WebRun reads your tracked Count doc's key metric every few minutes, posts the current status to your ops Telegram group, and texts you through Twilio the moment it crosses the threshold you set. Data teams using Count for collaborative analysis get a live metric watch without keeping the doc open all day.

  • A threshold breach gets a text within minutes, not at the next manual check
  • The ops group always has the current metric status in Telegram
  • Only real threshold breaches trigger a text

Questions, answered

Does WebRun edit the query in the Count doc?

No. It only reads the current result of the query you've already written. Editing the SQL or the doc stays a human task.

Will I get texted for every check?

No. Texts only go out on an actual threshold crossing. Routine checks within normal range stay in the Telegram status update.

Can I track more than one metric?

Set up a separate check for each metric you want watched. Each one reads its own query and threshold independently.

Put this on autopilot.
