Automated Flaticon Icon Shortlists
Every Monday, WebRun reads the open design requests in your Airtable base, searches Flaticon for icons matching each brief and style, saves the candidates into a named collection per request, writes the links back to Airtable, and sends the shortlist to Telegram.
How do I get icon candidates ready before design work starts?
Every Monday WebRun reads your open design requests in Airtable, searches Flaticon for icons matching each brief, and saves the candidates into a named collection per request. It writes the links back to Airtable and sends the shortlist to Telegram, so designers start the week with options rather than a blank search box.
- Monday opens with candidates per request, not a blank search
- No license credits spent on shortlisting
- Vague briefs get flagged instead of guessed at

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
Will it download icons or use up my credits?
No. WebRun saves candidates into a collection and shares the links. The designer downloads the one they actually want, so no license credit is spent on a shortlist.
Does it buy anything or change my plan?
No. WebRun never purchases an asset, upgrades a plan, or enters payment details. It searches, saves to a collection, and reports.
What if a request is too vague to search?
It flags that request in the Telegram message instead of guessing. You get told which briefs need more detail rather than a shortlist of irrelevant icons.
