In short

How do I find out when a PhantomBuster scraper stops working?

Every morning WebRun opens PhantomBuster and reviews the last day of launches, picking out Phantoms that errored, timed out, or returned no results. It opens a Trello card per broken Phantom with the error message and sends a WhatsApp summary, so a dead scraper is caught the same day.

  • A broken scraper is caught the same day, not a week later
  • Empty runs are flagged alongside hard errors
  • Every failure carries its error message into the fix queue

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it relaunch a broken Phantom by itself?

No. WebRun reads launch results and queues a Trello card for a human. It never relaunches, edits, or deletes a Phantom, so nothing runs again without you deciding.

Does an empty result count as a failure?

Yes, and that is the point. A Phantom that runs green but returns zero rows is flagged alongside hard errors, because both mean the export is empty tomorrow.

Will it alert me every morning even when nothing broke?

It sends a short all-clear when every Phantom ran fine, so silence never gets confused with a missed run. You can switch that off and hear only about failures.
