Automated Signal Critical Alert Relay

Every few minutes, WebRun checks your dedicated Signal alerts group for new messages, forwards each one to a Telegram ops channel so the whole team has visibility, and sends the current on-call engineer a Twilio SMS page, so a critical alert never sits unseen in a single encrypted chat.

How do I make sure urgent Signal alerts reach on-call fast?

WebRun checks a dedicated Signal alerts group every few minutes for new critical messages. It relays each one to a Telegram ops channel for team visibility, then sends the current on-call engineer a Twilio SMS page with a short summary, so a critical alert never sits unseen in a single chat.

  • Critical Signal alerts get paged within minutes, any hour
  • The whole team sees alerts in one shared Telegram feed
  • Paging never depends on someone watching a single Signal chat

Questions, answered

Does this expose the Signal group's contents outside the team?

No. It only relays alerts to your own Telegram ops channel and pages your own on-call engineer. Nothing goes outside your team.

Why keep the alerts in Signal at all if they're relayed?

Signal stays the secure source for sensitive alert content. The relay just makes sure a message doesn't sit unseen if no one is watching that one app.

How fast does an alert get paged?

WebRun checks the Signal group every few minutes around the clock, so a new alert reaches the on-call engineer within minutes.

Put this on autopilot.
