Automated CrewAI Run Failure Alerts

Every hour, WebRun opens the CrewAI dashboard, checks crew runs that failed since the last check, exports the run details with the failing agent and error to a dated log in Google Drive, and sends a Twilio text when the same crew has failed twice in a row.

In short

How do I get alerted when a CrewAI run fails?

Every hour, WebRun checks CrewAI for crew runs that failed, exports the run details to a dated log in Google Drive, and sends a Twilio text when the same crew fails twice in a row. This catches a broken multi-agent workflow the same day instead of it silently failing run after run unnoticed.

  • A broken crew gets caught the same day, not after repeated silent failures
  • A full dated failure history builds up automatically in Drive
  • A single isolated failure stays quiet so texts stay trustworthy

Questions, answered

Does it restart the crew or fix the failing agent?

No. WebRun only reads run history and logs what failed. Restarting a run or fixing an agent's task stays with whoever owns the crew.

Why log every failure but only text on repeats?

A single failed run often clears on retry, so it just gets logged. A text goes out once the same crew fails twice in a row, since that usually points to something actually broken.

Can I see which crews fail most over time?

Yes. Every hour's failures are saved as a dated log in Google Drive, so a recurring problem crew is easy to spot across days.

Put this on autopilot.
