Automated Secoda Undocumented Table Alerts

Every Monday morning, WebRun opens Secoda, checks every table and data asset in the catalog for a missing description or an unassigned owner, posts the list to Microsoft Teams grouped by schema, and creates a Trello card for each undocumented asset, so documentation debt gets a clear owner instead of building up quietly in the catalog.

In short

How do I find undocumented tables in my Secoda data catalog?

WebRun checks every table and data asset in your Secoda catalog each Monday for a missing description or an unassigned owner. Undocumented assets get posted to Microsoft Teams grouped by schema, and each gets a Trello card, so documentation debt gets a clear assigned owner instead of quietly building up across the catalog.

  • Documentation debt gets assigned an owner every week instead of piling up
  • The data governance channel sees exactly what is missing, grouped by schema
  • Cards close automatically once a table gets documented, keeping the board current

Built for Data governance teams · Data engineering teams · Analytics engineers · Data platform teams

Questions, answered

Does WebRun write the missing documentation itself?

No. It only finds and flags what is missing. Writing a table's description and assigning an owner stays with your data team.

What counts as undocumented?

Any table or data asset in Secoda with no description, no assigned owner, or both.

Does the Trello card close automatically once documented?

Yes. Once an asset has both a description and an owner in Secoda, WebRun moves its card to done on the next check.

Put this on autopilot.
