Automated GoDaddy DNS Change Monitoring
Every night, WebRun signs in to GoDaddy, opens the DNS zone for each domain you own, records the nameservers and every A, CNAME, MX and TXT record, compares them with last night's snapshot, opens a Trello card for each change, and messages you on WhatsApp when a mail or verification record moved.
How do I get alerted when a DNS record changes on my domain?
WebRun snapshots your GoDaddy DNS every night. It opens the zone for each domain you own, records the nameservers and every A, CNAME, MX and TXT record, compares them against last night, opens a Trello card per change, and messages you on WhatsApp when a mail record moves.
- A wrong mail record surfaces the same night, before mail bounces
- Every zone change has a card with its before and after values
- Nothing is edited automatically: WebRun reports, a person fixes

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
Can it change my DNS records?
No. WebRun only reads each zone and reports what moved. Every fix is a Trello card for a person to action, so no record is edited, added, or removed on its own.
What counts as a change worth waking me for?
Mail and verification records. MX, SPF and DKIM TXT records, and nameserver changes get a WhatsApp message the same night, because those are what break mail delivery before anyone notices.
What happens on the very first run?
The first night just records a baseline snapshot of every zone with no change cards. From the second night onward, every run compares against the previous one and reports the difference.
