Automated Movable Ink Stale Content Alerts

Every morning, WebRun opens Movable Ink, checks every active dynamic content block used in live campaigns for its last content refresh date, saves a snapshot of any block untouched for more than 30 days to Google Drive, and texts the content owner through Twilio so a stale block gets refreshed before the next send.

In short

How do I find stale Movable Ink dynamic content blocks?

Every morning, WebRun checks every active Movable Ink dynamic content block for its last refresh date, saves a snapshot of anything untouched for more than 30 days to Google Drive, and texts the content owner through Twilio naming the stale block and the campaigns it feeds. Personalized content stops quietly going stale inside a live email.

  • Stale content blocks get caught before the next send
  • Content owners know exactly which campaigns are affected
  • A dated Drive archive shows what changed and when

Questions, answered

Does it refresh the content block itself?

No. WebRun only flags stale blocks and archives their current state. Updating the content stays a human task for the content owner.

What counts as stale?

A block whose content has not been refreshed in more than 30 days, a threshold you can adjust to match your own content cadence.

Why save a snapshot before the text goes out?

So the owner has a record of exactly what the block showed when it was flagged, useful if it is being used across several live campaigns.

Put this on autopilot.
