Automated Replit Deployment Down Alerts

Every hour, WebRun opens Replit, checks each of your team's deployments for a stopped, crashed, or errored status, creates a Trello card naming the deployment and its error for anything new, and texts the on call developer through WhatsApp so a down app gets restarted before anyone outside the team notices.

In short

How do I get alerted when a Replit deployment goes down?

WebRun checks your team's Replit deployments every hour for one that has stopped, crashed, or errored. It creates a Trello card naming the deployment and its status, and texts the on call developer through WhatsApp, so a down app gets a fix started before anyone outside the team notices.

  • A crashed deployment reaches on call within the hour
  • Every incident has a tracked Trello card until it is fixed
  • Recovered deployments clear from the board automatically

Built for indie developers · small engineering teams · platform teams · hackathon and prototyping teams

    Opens replit.com/login in a real browser with your saved login - no setup, no API keys.

  2. 1
    Replit - check deployments for a crash
    • Open the team's Replit deployments and check each one's current status
    • Flag any deployment showing stopped, crashed, or errored
    • Capture the deployment name and its error status

    Done when Every deployment not running normally is listed with its status.

Questions, answered

Will it restart the deployment itself?

No. WebRun only reports the crash. Restarting or fixing the deployment is always done by your developer.

How fast does a crash get reported?

Within the hour it happens, since every deployment's status is checked each hour.

What happens once the deployment is back up?

Its Trello card moves to done automatically the next time the check shows it running normally.

Put this on autopilot.
