Automated Hex Notebook Run Digest
Every morning, WebRun opens Hex, checks scheduled project runs from overnight for status and cell errors, logs any failure to Airtable with the exact step that broke, and posts a run summary to Notion leading with anything that failed.
How do I get a daily digest of my scheduled Hex notebook runs?
WebRun checks every scheduled Hex project run each morning, reading run status and any cell errors from overnight. Failed runs get logged to Airtable with the exact step that broke, and a summary posts to Notion leading with anything that failed, so a broken notebook gets noticed before someone opens a stale report.
- Failed notebook runs get caught the same morning, not at next open
- Every failure points to the exact cell that broke
- The team gets a run summary without opening Hex

Questions, answered
Will it re-run a failed notebook on its own?
No. WebRun only reports the failure and logs it. Re-running a notebook or fixing the underlying cell is left to a human.
How does it find the failing step?
It checks each run's cell-level status, so the log points to the exact cell that errored, not just the notebook as a whole.
What if a project has no scheduled run that day?
Only projects with a scheduled run overnight are checked, so a notebook that only runs weekly won't show up as missing on an off day.
