Automated Deepnote Analyst Onboarding Checklist
Whenever a new analyst joins, WebRun opens Deepnote, checks they have access to the team workspace and starter notebooks, creates a matching starter folder with sample datasets in Google Drive, and announces the new setup in Slack so the team knows to welcome them.
How do I set up a new analyst's Deepnote workspace automatically?
Whenever a new analyst joins, WebRun confirms their Deepnote workspace access, creates a matching starter folder with sample datasets in Google Drive, and announces the ready setup in Slack. Data teams get every new analyst's environment ready on day one instead of piecing it together over their first week.
- A new analyst's workspace is ready on day one, not week one
- The team is notified automatically so nobody forgets a welcome
- Every onboarding follows the same checklist, not memory

Questions, answered
Does WebRun invite the analyst to Deepnote itself?
No. It checks and confirms access that's already been granted. Sending the actual workspace invite stays an admin's deliberate step.
What goes in the starter folder?
Whatever sample datasets and reference docs your team keeps for onboarding. WebRun copies your existing template folder, it doesn't invent content.
Does this run on a schedule?
No. It runs whenever a new analyst is added to the team, not on a fixed clock, so setup happens right when it's needed.
