Automated Google Sheets Formula Error Audit
Every morning, WebRun opens the Google Sheets you rely on, walks each tab for formula errors and tabs that have stopped updating, records every finding in Airtable with the exact cell reference, and puts a Trello card on the board for each break so a wrong dashboard gets fixed the same day.
How do I find broken formulas in my Google Sheets automatically?
WebRun opens your watched Google Sheets every morning and walks each tab for formula errors such as REF, VALUE, and DIV/0, plus tabs that stopped updating. It logs every finding in Airtable with the exact cell reference and raises a Trello card per broken sheet, so wrong numbers are caught the same day.
- Broken cells are named by tab and reference, not just reported as broken
- Tabs that stopped refreshing are caught even when formulas read clean
- A dashboard is never quietly wrong for a week

Questions, answered
Will it edit or repair my formulas?
No. WebRun reads the sheets and reports the exact cells that are broken. Every fix is made by a person, so no formula or value is changed by this workflow.
How does it spot a tab that stopped updating?
It reads the last edit time on tabs you expect to refresh daily. A tab that has not moved since before yesterday is flagged even when every formula still reads clean.
Which sheets does it check?
The ones on the watch list you set, usually the reporting and dashboard sheets other people depend on. Add or remove a sheet and the next morning's scan follows the list.
