Automated Nightbot Moderation Spike Alerts
Every hour, WebRun opens Nightbot, counts timeouts, bans, and blocked messages against a typical hour, logs the count to Airtable for a running history, and emails you right away if activity is well above normal.
How do I know if my Nightbot moderation activity suddenly spikes?
WebRun checks Nightbot's moderation activity every hour, logging timeouts, bans, and blocked messages to Airtable for a running history. When activity spikes well above what's normal for your channel, the kind of pattern a raid or spam wave produces, it emails you the counts right away, so you find out during the spike, not after.
- Raids and spam waves get flagged the hour they happen
- Every hour of moderation activity is archived automatically
- A quiet, normal hour never triggers an unnecessary email

Questions, answered
Does it time out or ban anyone itself?
No. WebRun only reads Nightbot's existing moderation actions and reports on them. It never issues a timeout or ban on its own.
What counts as a spike?
Moderation activity well above what's typical for that hour on your channel, the kind of sudden run of timeouts or blocked messages a raid or spam wave produces.
Will I get an email every hour?
No. You're only emailed when activity is genuinely unusual. A normal hour is just logged to Airtable with nothing sent.
