Render Automated Failed Deploy Alerts

The moment a deploy fails on Render, WebRun reads the build log for the error and the commit that triggered it, posts the failure to your engineering Teams channel, and creates a Trello card with the error and a link back to the log.

In short

How do I get alerted and hand off a failed Render deploy?

WebRun checks every failed Render deploy the moment it happens, reading the build log for the error and the commit that triggered it. It posts the failure to your engineering Teams channel and creates a Trello card with the error and a link back to the log, so a broken deploy always gets a named owner instead of sitting unnoticed.

  • Failed deploys get flagged the moment they happen
  • Every failure gets a named owner through an assigned Trello card
  • Build error context is preserved instead of getting lost in logs

What does WebRun do on every run?

The exact actions WebRun takes, in order - in plain language, so you can adjust anything.

  1. WebRun signs in and gets to work

Questions, answered

Will it redeploy or roll back the service on its own?

No. WebRun only reads the failed build log and reports it. Redeploying, rolling back, or changing code always stays a decision a person makes.

Does it catch every failed deploy or just some services?

Every service on the account. It runs the same check whenever any deploy fails, not just on the ones you check manually.

What's in the Trello card?

The service name, the error message from the build log, and a link back to it, so whoever picks it up doesn't have to go hunting for context.

Put this on autopilot.
