Automatic Microsoft Learn Docs Change Alerts
Every night, WebRun opens the Microsoft Learn pages, learning paths and modules your team depends on, reads each one's last updated date, works out which changed since the previous run and what changed on them, sends the list to WhatsApp, and queues a Twilio text for anything that would break a runbook.
How do I get told when Microsoft documentation pages change?
WebRun checks the Microsoft Learn pages, learning paths and modules your team depends on every night. It compares each page's last updated date against the previous run, summarises what changed, sends the list to WhatsApp, and queues a Twilio text for changes that would break a runbook.
- Runbooks get corrected before someone follows stale guidance
- Only pages that actually changed reach the team channel
- Breaking changes get their own alert instead of hiding in a list

Twilio - queue an alert for breaking changes

- Name the page and the affected runbook in the message

- Skip the queue entirely on nights where nothing breaking changed
Done when Breaking changes have an alert queued and waiting for a person to release.
How is each run configured?
Secure by default
Connect once, stays signed in
WebRun signs in once and keeps each session in a persistent environment, so every run picks up right where it left off.
Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Will it text the team without me?
No. The Twilio alert is queued and waits for a person to release it. Only the internal WhatsApp change list posts on its own.
How does it know a page changed?
It reads the last updated date printed on each Microsoft Learn page and compares it with the date it recorded on the previous run, then reads the page to describe what moved.
Can I watch a whole learning path instead of single pages?
Yes. Point it at a learning path, module or collection and it walks the pages inside, reporting each one that changed with its own date.
