Automated Power Apps Connection Monitoring

Every morning, WebRun opens the Power Apps maker portal, checks every connection for an expired or broken sign-in, reads the overnight run history of your flows for failures, opens a Trello card for each problem with the app or flow name, and sends the maker team a WhatsApp summary of what is broken.

In short

How do I find broken Power Apps connections and failed flows each morning?

WebRun opens the Power Apps maker portal every morning, checks every connection for an expired or broken sign-in, and reads the overnight run history of your flows for failures. It opens one Trello card per problem with the error text and dependent apps, then sends the maker team a WhatsApp summary.

  • Broken connections are found before a user reports them
  • Every failure has a card with the actual error text
  • Repeat failures collapse into one card with a run count

Step by step

What does WebRun do on every run?

The exact actions WebRun takes, in order - in plain language, so you can adjust anything.

  1. WebRun signs in and gets to work

    Opens make.powerapps.com in a real browser with your saved login - no setup, no API keys.

    • Note which apps depend on each broken connection
    • Read only. Never republish an app, edit a flow, or re-enter a credential

    • Say plainly when everything ran clean

    Done when The maker team knows what is broken before the first user calls.

Questions, answered

Will it fix or republish anything?

No. WebRun reads the maker portal only. It never republishes an app, edits a flow, re-enters a credential, or re-runs a failed job. A maker makes every change by hand.

Does it handle credentials?

No. It reports that a connection needs signing in again and names which one. It never types, stores, or re-enters a password or an API key on your behalf.

Will one flaky flow flood the board?

No. It groups repeated failures of the same flow into a single card with a run count, and skips anything that already has an open card until you close it.

Put this on autopilot.

Turn it on in minutes - or have our team set it up for you.
