Automated StatCounter Traffic Spike Alerts
Every morning, WebRun opens StatCounter, reads yesterday's visits, page views, and top referrers, archives the report to Google Drive, and texts you through Twilio whenever traffic moves sharply outside its normal range.
How do I get alerted when my StatCounter traffic spikes or drops?
WebRun reads your StatCounter traffic every morning, archives visits, page views, and top referrers to a running Google Drive history, and texts you through Twilio whenever traffic spikes or drops sharply outside its normal range. Site owners find out about a real traffic move the same day, not days later in a dashboard.
- A real traffic spike or drop gets a same day text alert
- A full daily traffic history builds up in Google Drive automatically
- Ordinary days stay quiet instead of generating noise
Built for site owners · content publishers · small marketing teams

Questions, answered
Will I get texted every single day?
No. A text only goes out when traffic moves sharply outside its normal range. Ordinary days just get archived quietly.
Does WebRun see individual visitor data?
No. It only reads the aggregate totals StatCounter already reports, the same numbers on your own dashboard.
Where can I see the full daily history?
In the Google Drive spreadsheet. Every day adds a row, so you can chart the trend over any period you like.
