Automated Mendix Build Failure Alerts

Every few minutes, WebRun checks your Mendix apps for deployments that failed, files a Trello card with the app, environment, and error, and messages the on-call developer on WhatsApp so a broken build never sits unnoticed.

In short

How do I get notified the moment a Mendix deployment fails?

WebRun checks your Mendix apps every few minutes for deployments that failed. It files a Trello card with the app, environment, and error message, then messages your on-call developer on WhatsApp with a link to the card, so a broken build gets picked up in minutes instead of at the next standup.

  • Failed builds get flagged within minutes instead of at the next standup
  • Every failure is tracked on one Trello board with its error
  • Repeat failures stand out instead of getting buried in new cards

Questions, answered

Does it try to redeploy or fix the app itself?

No. It only detects the failure, files the Trello card, and alerts the on-call developer. Redeploying is always a human decision.

Who gets messaged on WhatsApp?

Only the on-call developer's number your team has on file. It is never sent to a customer or anyone outside your team.

What if the same build keeps failing?

Repeat failures are moved to the top of the Trello board so they stand out instead of getting buried under new cards.
