Automated Rive Animation Developer Handoff

Each time a Rive state machine is marked ready for export, WebRun logs its states and target platform to an Airtable handoff tracker, then emails the dev lead the export details and file link so the animation moves into development the same day.

In short

How do I hand off finished Rive animations to my development team?

WebRun watches your Rive file for state machines marked ready for export. Each time one is flagged, it logs the animation's states and target platform to an Airtable handoff tracker, then emails the dev lead the export details and file link, so interactive animations move into development the same day design finishes them.

  • Every ready animation gets handed off without a manual message
  • Developers get the export details and platform in one email
  • Design and development stay in sync on animation status

Questions, answered

Does it export or integrate the animation itself?

No. WebRun only logs the handoff and shares the details. Exporting the runtime file and integrating it into the app stays with the developer.

How does it know a state machine is ready?

It reads the ready-for-export status or tag the designer sets on the state machine in Rive, so nothing gets handed off before a human marks it done.

Can it handle animations for multiple platforms?

Yes. Each animation is logged with its target platform, whether iOS, Android, or web, so the dev lead knows which runtime to expect.
