Automated ScalaHosting Server Launch Checklist

Every morning, WebRun opens ScalaHosting, reads a new account's server, domain, and SSL setup status, drafts a Gmail progress update, and logs each setup step in an Airtable checklist until the account is fully ready to launch.

In short

How do I track a new ScalaHosting account's setup until it's ready to launch?

WebRun checks a new ScalaHosting account's server, domain, and SSL setup every morning, logs each step in an Airtable checklist, and drafts a Gmail progress update once every item is complete. It never configures the server or issues SSL itself, so nothing goes live without a verified checklist behind it.

  • Nothing launches without every setup step verified
  • One Airtable base shows the whole launch status at a glance
  • A drafted Gmail update means the team reviews before anything sends

Step by step

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

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

  2. 1
    ScalaHosting - read server, domain, and SSL setup status
    scalahosting.com
    WebRun in ScalaHosting: read server, domain, and SSL setup status

    • Open the ScalaHosting client area for the new account
    • Read whether the server, domain, and SSL certificate are active
    • Note anything still pending

    Done when Every setup item's current status is captured.

  3. 2
    Airtable - log the checklist progress
    airtable.com

  4. 3
    Gmail - draft a progress update
    gmail.com
    WebRun in Gmail: draft a progress update

Secure by default

Connect once, stays signed in

WebRun signs in once and keeps each session in a persistent environment, so every run picks up right where it left off.

Your credentials stay in your own private environment - WebRun never stores your passwords.

Good to know

Questions, answered

Does it configure the server or issue SSL for me?

No. WebRun only reads the account's current setup status. Configuring a server, connecting a domain, or issuing SSL stays something you or ScalaHosting support handles.

How do I know what's still missing?

Any pending item stays unchecked in the Airtable base with a note on what's blocking it, so nothing gets missed.

Will I get an email every day?

No. The draft update is only created once every checklist item is confirmed complete, not for every daily check.
