Automated Namecheap DNS Change Alerts
Every night, WebRun opens Namecheap, reads the nameservers and host records on every domain in your account, compares them against the snapshot it took last night, sends the differences to Telegram with the old and new values, and books a morning review slot on Google Calendar when anything changed.
How do I get alerted when a DNS record on my domain changes?
WebRun watches your Namecheap DNS every night. It reads the nameservers and host records on every domain, compares them against last night's snapshot, and sends any differences to Telegram with the old and new values, booking a morning review slot when something moved, so a hijack or mail outage is caught early.
- An unexpected MX or A record change is known the next morning
- Every alert shows the old value beside the new one
- A quiet night is confirmed, so silence is never ambiguous
Built for domain owners · IT admins · web agencies · small business owners

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 change or revert a DNS record?
No. WebRun only reads and compares. Editing a record, restoring an old value, and changing nameservers all stay with you.
What does it compare against?
The snapshot it saved on the previous night's run, so the report shows the old value next to the new one for every record that moved.
Does it tell me when nothing happened?
Yes. A quiet night is stated explicitly in the Telegram message, so a silent run is never confused with the automation having stopped.
