Automated Filen Storage Activity Export
Every Monday, WebRun opens Filen, checks the past week's file activity log for uploads, deletions, and shares with timestamps, exports it as new rows in Google Sheets alongside the week's storage total, and logs an index entry in Notion.
How do I keep a compliance record of Filen file activity?
WebRun checks Filen every Monday for the past week's file activity, uploads, deletions, and shares with timestamps, and exports it as new rows in Google Sheets alongside the week's storage total. It logs an index entry in Notion linking to that export, building a running activity record without ever reading encrypted file contents.
- A running, filterable activity record builds automatically
- Encrypted file contents are never read by the export
- Unusual activity spikes get flagged in the Notion index
Built for Privacy-focused businesses needing an audit trail · compliance officers · IT admins on encrypted storage platforms

Connect once, stays signed in
WebRun signs in once and keeps each session in a persistent environment, so every run picks up right where it left off.
Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Does it read the contents of encrypted files?
No. Filen's files stay end-to-end encrypted. WebRun only reads activity metadata: what action happened, to which file, and when.
Why export to a spreadsheet instead of just a count?
So you have a running, filterable record for compliance or audit purposes, not just a summary that disappears after the week.
Does it delete or restore anything in Filen?
No. It only reads and exports the activity log. It never deletes, restores, or changes a file in Filen.
