Automated ProtoPie Project Setup Checklist

When a new ProtoPie project is created for a client engagement, WebRun logs the project name and client in Airtable, and posts a Notion setup checklist covering whether reference assets are linked and reviewers are assigned, so the interaction design work starts from a complete project instead of one missing pieces discovered mid build.

In short

How do I make sure a new ProtoPie project starts fully set up?

WebRun watches ProtoPie for a new project created for a client engagement, logs it in Airtable, and posts a Notion setup checklist covering whether reference assets are linked and reviewers are assigned. Interaction design work starts from a complete setup instead of missing pieces surfacing mid build.

  • New projects start with assets and reviewers confirmed, not assumed
  • The team sees setup status without asking the project owner
  • Missing setup steps get caught before the build is underway

Questions, answered

Does it import assets or assign reviewers itself?

No. WebRun only checks whether those steps are done and reports on it. Importing assets and assigning reviewers stays a manual task for the project owner.

What if a project skips one of the checklist items?

It shows as pending in Notion instead of being marked done, so the gap stays visible until someone addresses it.

Does it work for internal projects too, not just client work?

Yes. Any new ProtoPie project triggers the same setup checklist, whether it is for a client or an internal product.
