How do I get alerted when my Plex server goes offline?
WebRun checks your shared Plex server every hour for uptime, remote access, and library changes, schedules a maintenance window on Google Calendar when an update is pending, and sends a WhatsApp alert the moment the server goes offline, so a business running Plex for guests catches an outage before a customer notices.
- Outages get caught within the hour instead of when a guest complains
- Maintenance windows are scheduled instead of forgotten
- Routine updates never trigger a false alarm
Built for Short term rental hosts · Bars and lounges with shared media · Small hospitality operators · Home media server admins running a side business

Questions, answered
Does WebRun update or restart the server?
No. WebRun only reads the server's status and library. Applying an update or restarting the server is always a step you take yourself.
Will I get alerted for a routine restart?
No. It's designed to alert on unexpected downtime. A restart during a scheduled maintenance window won't trigger the WhatsApp alert.
Does it see what guests are watching?
No. It only checks server status, remote access, and library changes, not individual playback or viewing activity.
