Automated Gandi DNS Record Change Alerts
Every morning, WebRun signs in to Gandi, reads the DNS records and name servers for each domain you own, compares them against the approved copy stored in Google Drive, and drafts you a Gmail alert listing every record that differs from the known good set.
How do I get alerted when a DNS record changes unexpectedly?
WebRun signs in to Gandi every morning, reads the DNS records and name servers on every domain you own, and compares them against the approved baseline you keep in Google Drive. It drafts a Gmail alert listing each record that differs with its old and new value, so an unplanned MX or A change is caught the same day.
- An unplanned MX or A record change is seen the same morning
- Every domain's records are diffed against an approved baseline daily
- A dated history of DNS changes builds up in Drive without anyone keeping it
Built for IT leads · sysadmins · web agencies · hosting managers

How is each run configured?
Secure by default
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
Will it edit or roll back a DNS record?
No. WebRun only reads your Gandi records and reports differences. It never adds, edits, or deletes a record, and never changes a name server. Every correction is made by a human who has seen the diff.
Does it email my team automatically?
No. The alert is left as a Gmail draft for you to review and forward. Only the Google Drive history file is written without asking, and that is your own internal record.
What counts as a difference worth flagging?
Any change from your approved baseline: a value edited, a record added or removed, or a TTL altered. MX and A record differences are listed first because those break mail and sites fastest.
