Automated Talend ETL Job Failure Handoff

Every hour, WebRun opens Talend, checks every scheduled job run since the last check, opens a Trello card for any job that failed with its error and affected pipeline, and pings the on-call engineer on WhatsApp so the fix starts fast.

In short

How do I get failed Talend jobs assigned to the right engineer automatically?

WebRun checks every scheduled Talend job every hour, opens a Trello card for anything that failed with its error and pipeline, assigns it to the on-call engineer, and pings them on WhatsApp. Data integration teams get a failed job turned into an assigned, actionable task within the hour, not left in a log nobody reads.

  • A failed job becomes an assigned task within the hour
  • The on-call engineer is pinged directly, not left to check a board
  • Only failures generate a card, keeping the board a real to-do list

Questions, answered

Does WebRun rerun the failed Talend job?

No. It only reads job status and opens a tracked task. Rerunning or editing the job stays a decision for the assigned engineer.

How does it know who is on-call?

From the on-call name or rotation you give it. The Trello card and the WhatsApp ping both go to that person.

Will successful jobs also create a card?

No. Only failed job runs get a Trello card, so the board stays a real to-do list, not a log of everything that ran.
