Automated Portainer Daily Container Health Digest
Every morning, WebRun opens Portainer, reviews the health status of containers and stacks across your environments, messages a WhatsApp summary naming anything unhealthy or repeatedly restarting, and adds a Google Calendar reminder for any container image due for its scheduled update review.
How do I get a daily summary of my Portainer container health?
WebRun reviews Portainer-managed containers and stacks every morning, messaging the infrastructure team on WhatsApp with anything unhealthy or repeatedly restarting. It also adds a Google Calendar reminder for any container image due for its scheduled update review, so container health gets checked daily and image updates do not fall through the cracks.
- Unhealthy containers get flagged every morning instead of discovered later
- Image update reviews land on the calendar instead of being forgotten
- The team gets one scannable digest instead of checking Portainer by hand

Questions, answered
Will WebRun restart a container or update an image itself?
No. It only reports health status and reminds the team about scheduled reviews. Restarting a container or updating an image stays a manual action in Portainer.
What counts as unhealthy?
A container Portainer itself reports as unhealthy or one that has restarted repeatedly in the last 24 hours, so the digest reflects Portainer's own health checks.
How does it decide an image is due for review?
Based on the update review cadence your team sets for each image, so the calendar only fills with reminders that are actually due.
