Automated Jottacloud Backup Failure Alerts
Every morning, WebRun opens Jottacloud, checks the last backup time for every connected device, schedules a retry reminder on Google Calendar for anything overdue, and posts the list to IT in Microsoft Teams.
How do I catch devices that have stopped backing up to Jottacloud?
WebRun checks every connected device in Jottacloud each morning for a successful backup in the last 48 hours. It schedules a same day retry reminder on Google Calendar for anything overdue and posts the full list to IT in Microsoft Teams, so a stalled backup gets caught before real data is at risk.
- Overdue backups caught the same morning, not days later
- Every alert names the device owner, not just the device
- Reminders clear automatically once a backup succeeds

Questions, answered
Will it force a backup or restart the device?
No. WebRun only reads backup status and reminds IT. Triggering a backup or fixing a device is left to your team.
How is a device marked overdue?
Anything with no successful backup in the last 48 hours, so a single missed sync overnight does not trigger a false alarm.
Does the reminder keep repeating once a device is fixed?
No. It reads the live backup status each morning, so a device that backs up successfully drops off the list and its reminder clears.
