Automated Litmus Pre-Send Link Checks
Every morning before your sends go out, WebRun opens Litmus, reviews the proof for each email queued to send in the next 48 hours, checks every link destination, tracked URL, and image reference, opens a Trello fix card for anything broken or missing, and messages the campaign owner on WhatsApp so the email is corrected before it ships.
How do I check an email for broken links before sending it?
WebRun reviews your Litmus proofs each morning for emails sending within 48 hours, checking every link destination, tracking parameter, and image reference. It opens a dated Trello fix card for each problem and messages the campaign owner on WhatsApp, so broken links are corrected before the email ships.
- Broken links are caught in the proof, not in the reply-all apology
- Untracked URLs are found before the campaign loses attribution
- Every issue has a dated Trello card owned before the send window

Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Can it send or schedule the campaign?
No. WebRun only inspects the proof and reports what it found. It never sends an email, schedules a campaign, or changes a send time, so nothing reaches your list without a person releasing it.
Does it edit the email to fix the links?
No. It opens a Trello card describing the exact problem and leaves the fix to whoever owns the campaign, so no automated edit ever changes your creative.
What if there is nothing to fix?
You get a clear pass message on WhatsApp naming the campaign and the send time, so a clean proof is confirmed rather than met with silence.
