Automated LaunchDarkly Stale Flag Cleanup
On the first Monday of every month, WebRun opens LaunchDarkly, checks every flag across your environments for the last time it was toggled or evaluated, logs anything untouched for 90 days or more to a Notion cleanup page with its owner, and updates a Google Sheets flag inventory so the full list stays current.
How do I find and clean up stale LaunchDarkly feature flags?
WebRun checks every LaunchDarkly flag once a month for the last time it was toggled or evaluated. It logs anything untouched for 90 days or more to a Notion cleanup page by owner, and keeps a full flag inventory current in Google Sheets, so stale flags get cleared out instead of piling up in your codebase.
- Stale flags get a named owner and a cleanup entry every month
- The flag inventory sheet never drifts out of date
- Technical debt from old flags stops accumulating silently

Questions, answered
Will it turn off or delete any flags?
No. WebRun only reports which flags look stale. Removing a flag from the code and LaunchDarkly is always done by an engineer.
How does it decide a flag is stale?
It checks the last time each flag was toggled or evaluated. Anything untouched for 90 days or more gets logged as a cleanup candidate.
What if a flag is meant to stay on forever?
Note it as a permanent flag in the Notion page and it stops appearing as a cleanup candidate on future runs.
