Automated SpiderOak Backup Status Digest
Every morning, WebRun opens SpiderOak, checks last night's backup run for every device, posts a summary of successes and failures to Slack, and sends an urgent Telegram alert for any device that failed.
How do I get a daily summary of my SpiderOak backup status?
WebRun checks SpiderOak every morning for last night's backup result on every device, posting a Slack summary of what succeeded and what failed. Any device that failed also gets an urgent Telegram alert with the reason, so an encrypted backup problem gets noticed the same morning, not days into a real data loss.
- A daily read on backup health without opening SpiderOak
- Failures escalated on a separate urgent channel
- Clean nights stay quiet, no unnecessary alerts
Built for privacy focused users · IT admins · small business owners · remote teams

Questions, answered
Will it retry a failed backup itself?
No. WebRun only reads the backup result and alerts you. Re-running a backup is a step you take yourself in SpiderOak.
Why does a failure also go to Telegram?
The Slack post is the daily summary. Telegram is reserved for failures, so a real problem does not get lost in a routine update.
What if every device backed up fine?
It still posts a short Slack summary confirming a clean night, and skips the Telegram alert entirely since there is nothing to escalate.
