Automated Hygraph Content Change Digest

Every morning, WebRun opens Hygraph, reviews content entries published or updated since the previous check, saves a dated export to Google Drive, and posts a Slack summary so the content and product teams know what shipped without checking the content hub themselves.

In short

How do I get a daily digest of what changed in my Hygraph content?

WebRun checks Hygraph every morning for entries published or updated since the last check, saves a dated backup export to Google Drive, and posts a Slack digest grouped by content model. This gives the content and product teams a daily record of what shipped, plus a running backup, without anyone opening the content hub to check.

  • The team sees what published and what changed every morning
  • Content changes are backed up to Drive automatically each day
  • Content model activity is visible without opening Hygraph

Questions, answered

Will WebRun publish or edit content on its own?

No. It only reads content status and reports on it. Publishing, editing, or deleting any entry stays a manual action in Hygraph.

How far back does the backup export go?

Each daily export covers changes since the previous check, and WebRun keeps a rolling 30 days of exports in Google Drive.

Does it cover every content model?

Yes, every content model in the project you connect it to gets included in the daily digest.
