Automated Nextcloud Activity Digest
Every morning, WebRun opens Nextcloud, checks the activity feed across shared folders for uploads, edits, and deletions from the day before, posts a daily summary to Slack grouped by folder and person, and alerts Telegram for any unusually large upload.
How do I keep track of daily file activity on Nextcloud?
WebRun checks Nextcloud's activity feed every morning for uploads, edits, and deletions from the day before, and posts a daily summary to Slack grouped by folder and person. Any unusually large upload gets a direct Telegram alert the same day, so the team has one clear picture of what changed without reading a raw activity log.
- The team sees a clear daily picture of file activity
- Unusually large uploads are flagged the same day
- Nobody has to read a raw activity log to know what changed
Built for Teams self-hosting Nextcloud · IT admins · small businesses tracking shared folders

Questions, answered
Does it flag deletions as something to undo?
No, it only reports that a deletion happened, as part of the daily count. It does not restore or reverse anything.
What counts as an unusually large upload?
Any file well above your typical upload size. It is called out directly in Telegram instead of waiting for the daily Slack digest.
Does it read the contents of files?
No. It only reads activity metadata: what changed, who changed it, and file size. It never opens or reads file contents.
