Every hour, WebRun opens Railway, checks every service across your projects for a deployment that failed or a service stuck crash looping, posts a Teams alert naming the project and the error, and creates a Trello card so the fix gets tracked from report to resolved.

In short

How do I get alerted the moment a Railway deployment fails?

Every hour, WebRun checks every service in your Railway projects for a deployment that failed or a service stuck crash looping. It posts a Teams alert naming the project, the service, and the error, and creates a Trello card so the fix gets tracked from report through to resolved instead of getting lost in chat.

  • Failed deployments get caught within the hour instead of from a user report
  • Every failure has a Trello card, so nothing gets fixed twice or forgotten
  • Crash loops are named by project and service, not just a generic alert

Questions, answered

Does it roll back or redeploy automatically?

No. WebRun only detects and reports the failure. Rolling back, redeploying, or pushing a fix always stays a decision your team makes.

How is this different from Railway's own notifications?

WebRun adds a tracked Trello card to every failure so it cannot get lost in a busy Teams channel, and gives you one place to see it through to fixed.

Will it alert on a deployment that is still in progress?

No. It only reports a deployment once it has actually failed or a service is confirmed crash looping, not while a build is still running.

Put this on autopilot.
