How do I catch ownCloud sync conflicts before they overwrite someone's work?
WebRun checks your ownCloud sync log every night for failed syncs and file conflicts, then checks Google Drive for a clean copy of each affected file. It texts IT through Twilio with a summary, so a sync conflict gets a same day human decision instead of quietly overwriting someone's work.
- Sync conflicts caught the same night, not after a rewrite
- IT gets a clean copy comparison, not just a conflict name
- Resolved conflicts drop off the alert automatically

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 resolve the sync conflict or overwrite a file?
No. WebRun only reads and reports conflicts. Choosing which version to keep is always a decision IT or the file owner makes.
Why check Google Drive as well as ownCloud?
A clean copy in Drive often makes the fix obvious, so IT gets that context in the same text instead of digging for it.
What happens to a conflict once it's fixed?
It reads the live sync log each night, so a resolved conflict does not appear in the next text.
