Automated Mailspring New Account Setup Checks

When a new account is added to Mailspring, WebRun opens it and checks the signature, sync settings, and notification preferences are all in place, posts the checklist results to Slack, and sends the admin a Telegram ping once every item passes.

In short

How do I confirm a new Mailspring account is set up correctly?

WebRun checks a new Mailspring account against a setup checklist, confirming the signature, sync, and notification settings are in place. It posts the results to Slack and pings the admin on Telegram once everything passes, so a new mailbox never gets handed over half configured.

  • Every new Mailspring account is checked before it's handed over
  • Setup gaps get caught and flagged instead of surfacing later
  • Admins get a ping only once an account actually passes

Questions, answered

Does it change any settings itself?

No. WebRun only checks whether the signature, sync, and notification settings are already in place. It never edits account settings or sends anything from the mailbox on its own.

What happens if a checklist item fails?

It shows up flagged in the Slack post and the admin does not get the ready ping, so a half finished setup never gets mistaken for a working one.

Can I change what's on the checklist?

Yes. Tell WebRun which settings matter for your setup and it checks that list every time a new account is added.
