Automated freeCodeCamp Cohort Tracking
Every Monday, WebRun opens the public freeCodeCamp profile of each learner in your cohort, reads which certifications are complete and which challenges were finished in the last week, moves each learner's Trello card to the stage that matches their progress, and sends your training chat a WhatsApp summary showing who moved, who finished a certification, and who has not progressed.
How do I track a cohort's progress through freeCodeCamp?
WebRun reads each cohort learner's public freeCodeCamp profile every Monday, checking completed certifications and challenges finished that week. It moves each learner's Trello card to the matching stage and sends your training chat a WhatsApp summary of who advanced, who finished a certification, and who stalled.
- The cohort board matches reality every Monday morning
- Stalled learners are named before they drop out quietly
- Learner accounts are only ever read, never touched
Built for bootcamp operators · engineering mentors · L and D teams · apprenticeship programmes

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 message the learners?
No. Every message goes to your own internal WhatsApp training chat. WebRun never emails or messages a learner, so any encouragement or follow up comes from a real mentor.
Does it need each learner's login?
No. It reads public freeCodeCamp profiles from the cohort list you provide. Anyone whose profile is private simply shows as progress not visible rather than being guessed at.
Does it change anything on freeCodeCamp?
No. The freeCodeCamp step is read only. WebRun never submits a challenge, edits a profile, or touches a learner account, and the only writes are to your own Trello board.
