Automated Snowflake Credit Usage Alerts
Every hour, WebRun opens Snowflake, checks each warehouse's credit consumption against the budget threshold you set, posts a Teams alert the moment one is running hot, and opens a Trello card so someone right-sizes or suspends it before the bill grows.
How do I get alerted before a Snowflake warehouse burns through its credit budget?
WebRun checks Snowflake's warehouse credit consumption every hour against the budget threshold you set. The moment a warehouse runs hot, it posts a Microsoft Teams alert naming the warehouse and the overage, and opens a Trello card so someone right-sizes or suspends it before the bill grows further.
- Runaway warehouses get flagged within the hour, not at month end
- Every budget breach becomes a tracked Trello card, not a surprise bill
- The team sees the exact warehouse and query pattern driving the spike

Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Will it pause or resize a warehouse on its own?
No. WebRun only alerts and opens a Trello card. Resizing, suspending, or changing a warehouse's auto-suspend settings is left to a human.
How does it decide what counts as running hot?
It compares each warehouse's trailing credit consumption against the budget threshold you set, so the alert reflects your own limits, not a generic default.
What if a warehouse is already back under budget?
It reads live usage from Snowflake every run, so a warehouse that's already back under its threshold is skipped automatically.
