Automated Retool Weekly Usage Scorecard
Every Monday, WebRun opens Retool, reads which internal apps were used most in the past week and what changed in the audit log, exports a backup copy of the audit log to Google Drive, and posts a short scorecard to Slack so the team can see which internal tools are active and what changed.
How do I track which Retool apps are actually being used?
Every Monday, WebRun checks Retool for the past week's app usage and audit log activity, exports a dated backup of the audit log to Google Drive, and posts a short scorecard to Slack naming the most and least used apps and any permission or deploy changes. This keeps internal tool health visible without anyone opening Retool's admin panel.
- Unused internal apps get flagged instead of quietly lingering
- A dated audit log backup builds up automatically in Drive
- The team sees tool health in one short Slack read each week
Built for internal tools teams · engineering managers · IT admins · platform teams

Questions, answered
Does it change any app permissions or settings?
No. WebRun only reads usage and audit log data and reports it. Changing permissions or app settings stays your team's decision inside Retool.
Why keep a backup of the audit log outside Retool?
It gives you a dated, offline record of who changed what each week, useful if you need to look back further than Retool keeps logs visible.
Will it flag apps nobody is using?
Yes. Apps with no usage in the past week are called out in the scorecard, which makes it easy to spot tools worth retiring.
