Automated Metabase Weekly Metrics Export
Every Monday, WebRun opens Metabase, runs the saved questions you named in their collection, reads each result with your standard filters applied, appends the figures as a new dated row in Airtable, and writes a short readout in Notion so leadership sees the trend without a Metabase login.
How do I send weekly Metabase numbers to people without accounts?
WebRun runs your saved Metabase questions every Monday, reads the headline figure from each, and appends them as one dated Airtable row. It then writes a Notion readout showing the change on last week, so leadership follows the trend every week without ever opening Metabase.
- Leadership reads the week's numbers without a Metabase login
- One dated row per week builds the trend automatically
- Failed questions are flagged, never reported as a zero
Built for founders · data teams · operations leads · finance and leadership teams

Questions, answered
Does it change anything in Metabase?
No. WebRun only runs saved questions you already have and reads the results. It does not edit a question, change a filter permanently, or alter a dashboard. Writing happens in Airtable and Notion only.
What if a question fails to run?
The field is left blank and the failure is named in the Notion readout. WebRun never fills a gap with a zero, because a zero in a metrics table reads as a real result.
Can people read the numbers without a Metabase account?
Yes. That is the point. The figures land in Airtable and the readout in Notion, so anyone with access to those can follow the trend without a Metabase login.
