How do I track Cinema 4D render jobs and know when they finish?
WebRun checks the Cinema 4D render queue every hour, creating or updating a Trello card for each job with its project name, frame range, and outcome. The moment a render completes or fails, it messages the artist on WhatsApp with the result and, for failures, the error reported, so no one has to keep checking the queue manually.
- Artists hear about finished or failed renders within the hour
- Failed renders come with the actual error, not just a status
- The studio keeps one Trello board tracking every render job

Questions, answered
Does it restart a failed render automatically?
No. WebRun only reports the failure and the error message. Restarting or fixing the scene stays a manual step for the artist.
How often does it check the queue?
Every hour, so an artist never waits more than an hour to hear a long render finished, without needing to babysit the queue.
Does the Trello board show every artist's renders or just mine?
Every job in the shared queue gets its own card on the production board, so the whole studio has one view, while WhatsApp messages go only to that job's artist.
