Automated Nexcess Site Uptime Alerts

Every hour, WebRun opens the Nexcess client portal, reads uptime and performance status for every managed site, logs any incident to an Airtable tracker, and creates a Notion incident page the moment a site goes down so the team responds fast.

In short

How do I get alerted the moment a Nexcess managed site goes down?

WebRun checks every Nexcess managed site's uptime and performance status every hour. The moment a site goes down or degrades, it logs the incident to an Airtable tracker and creates a Notion page with the site name and how long it's been affected, so the team gets a fast, documented start on the response.

  • Outages get caught and logged within the hour they start
  • Every incident builds a searchable Airtable history
  • The team gets a documented starting point for every response

Questions, answered

Does it restart the site or contact Nexcess support for me?

No. WebRun only reads uptime status and logs the incident. Restarting a site or opening a support case stays a manual step your team takes.

How fast does it catch an outage?

It checks every managed site every hour, so an outage gets logged and posted to Notion within the same hour it starts.

Can we see how often a site has gone down before?

Yes. Every incident is logged to Airtable with its start time, building a history you can review for a pattern.
