Automated Northflank Daily Deploy Digest

Every morning, WebRun opens the Northflank dashboard, reads how every service and build ran overnight, sends you a WhatsApp digest of what deployed cleanly and what didn't, and logs a calendar note to review anything that needs a closer look.

In short

How do I get a daily summary of my Northflank deploys?

WebRun reads how every Northflank service and build ran overnight, every morning, and sends you a WhatsApp digest of what deployed cleanly and what failed. Anything that needs a closer look gets its own calendar entry with the error summary, so you start the day knowing exactly what shipped and what still needs attention.

  • Every overnight deploy gets a same morning digest
  • Failed builds get flagged with a calendar review, not lost
  • The team starts the day knowing exactly what shipped

Questions, answered

Does it redeploy or fix a failed build?

No. WebRun only reads deploy status and reports it. Redeploying or fixing a failed build stays a manual step the engineer takes.

Will I get a message every morning even if nothing happened?

No. The WhatsApp digest is skipped on quiet nights with no build or deploy activity to report.

How do I know what needs my attention first?

Anything flagged gets its own calendar entry with the service name and error summary, separate from the general digest.
