Automated Plivo Phone Number Inventory Audits
Every Monday, WebRun opens the Plivo console, lists every rented number with its application, subaccount and monthly rental, checks the call and message logs for traffic in the last month, records the idle numbers in Airtable, and texts you the monthly waste total.
How do I find phone numbers I am renting but not using?
WebRun opens the Plivo console every Monday and lists every rented number with its monthly rental, subaccount, and attached application. It checks the call and message logs for traffic in the last month, records the idle numbers in Airtable, and texts you what they cost together.
- Idle numbers are named with what they cost every month
- Numbers left on old subaccounts stop renting quietly
- Nothing is released without a person deciding to release it

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 release a number on its own?
No. Releasing a number is permanent and often cannot be undone, so WebRun only lists the candidates with their cost. Someone on your team makes the release in the Plivo console.
How does it decide a number is idle?
It searches the Plivo call logs and message logs for any traffic on that number in the last month. A number with zero calls and zero messages in that window is flagged, with its last traffic date shown.
Does it cover numbers on subaccounts?
Yes. Every rented number is listed with the subaccount it belongs to and the application it is attached to, so a number left behind on an old subaccount is caught too.
