Automated Screaming Frog Crawl Error Alerts
Every Monday, WebRun runs a Screaming Frog crawl of the site, flags new broken links, redirect chains, and pages missing meta tags since last week's crawl, logs each issue to Airtable, and creates a Notion task for the dev team so technical SEO issues get fixed before they hurt rankings.
How do I catch new technical SEO issues from Screaming Frog every week?
WebRun runs a Screaming Frog crawl every Monday and compares it against last week's results to find new issues. It logs each new broken link, redirect, or missing meta tag to Airtable and creates a Notion task for the dev team, so technical SEO problems get fixed weekly instead of piling up unnoticed.
- New crawl issues get caught every week instead of at the next audit
- Every issue has a logged record and an assigned dev task
- Fixed issues drop off the list automatically

Questions, answered
Does it fix the broken links or redirects itself?
No. WebRun only finds and logs issues from the crawl. Editing a page, fixing a link, or updating a meta tag stays with your dev team.
How does it know what's new?
It compares each week's crawl results against the previous one, so only genuinely new issues get logged instead of the same list every week.
What happens to issues that get fixed?
They stop appearing in Airtable and Notion once the following week's crawl no longer finds them.
