Automated Pipedream Workflow Failure Alerts
Every hour, WebRun opens Pipedream, checks each workflow's recent executions for failures, logs every failed run to an Airtable tracker with the step and error, and posts an incident note in Notion so whoever is on call can pick it up fast.
How do I get alerted when a Pipedream workflow fails?
WebRun checks your Pipedream workflows every hour for executions that ended in an error. It logs each failure to an Airtable tracker with the workflow, step, and error message, then posts a Notion incident note flagging repeat failures, so whoever is on call can act within the hour instead of at the next review.
- Failed workflows get logged within the hour instead of discovered later
- Every failure is tracked in one Airtable base with its error
- Repeat failures are flagged instead of treated as one-offs

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
Does it restart or fix the failed workflow?
No. It only detects, logs, and reports the failure. Restarting or fixing the workflow's logic is a decision for your team.
How does it know a failure is a repeat?
It checks the Airtable tracker for the same workflow failing earlier in the week and flags it in the Notion note, so recurring problems stand out.
Does it slow down my actual workflows?
No. It only reads execution history from Pipedream. It never opens, edits, or runs your workflows itself.
