Automated Files.com Transfer Reconciliation

Every morning, WebRun opens Files.com, checks the automation and transfer logs, compares completed transfers against the expected schedule, logs any missed or failed one to Airtable, and updates a Notion runbook status page.

In short

How do I know if a scheduled Files.com transfer actually ran?

WebRun checks Files.com every morning, comparing completed transfers and automations against the expected schedule, and logs any missed or failed one to Airtable. It updates a Notion runbook status page, marked green when everything ran on time, so on-call knows immediately whether a scheduled file transfer actually happened.

  • Missed transfers are caught the same morning, not days later
  • On-call sees a clear green or flagged status at a glance
  • Repeat failures on the same workflow become visible over time

Questions, answered

Does it retry a failed transfer automatically?

No. It only reconciles what ran against what was expected and logs the gap. Retrying or fixing a transfer is left to on-call.

What counts as a discrepancy?

Any expected transfer or automation that did not complete on schedule, whether it failed outright or simply never ran.

How do I know if everything ran fine?

The Notion runbook status is marked green on days with no discrepancies, so a quick glance confirms everything is on track.
