Automated Lumen5 Export Failure Alerts
Every hour, WebRun opens Lumen5, checks the export queue for videos that failed or are stuck rendering, saves each finished video to Google Drive, and texts you by Twilio when an export needs attention.
How do I know if a Lumen5 video export fails or gets stuck?
WebRun checks your Lumen5 export queue every hour, watching for videos that failed or have been rendering for over 20 minutes. It downloads every finished video straight into Google Drive, and texts you by Twilio only when an export is stuck or failed, so a rendering problem gets caught the same hour instead of when you next open the app.
- Stuck or failed exports get caught within the hour
- Finished videos are backed up to Drive without manual downloading
- No export silently sits unfinished overnight

Questions, answered
Does it retry a failed export for me?
No. WebRun only detects and reports it. Re-running the export in Lumen5 is left to you.
Does it text me for every finished video?
No. Successful exports are just saved to Drive quietly. You're only texted when something is stuck or failed.
How long does an export have to be stuck before it's flagged?
Past 20 minutes of rendering with no finished file, which is unusually long for a typical Lumen5 export.
