Automated Noun Project Icon Library Backup

Every morning, WebRun opens The Noun Project, checks your team collections for icons added since yesterday, saves each new icon and its license terms to a Google Drive backup folder, and texts the design lead a short summary, including a heads up when monthly download credits are running low.

In short

How do I keep a backed up record of my team Noun Project icon library?

WebRun checks The Noun Project every morning for icons your team added to shared collections since the day before, backs up each file and its license terms to Google Drive, and texts the design lead a short summary. It flags when monthly download credits are running low, so the icon library stays organized without manual filing.

  • Every team icon is backed up with its license the same day it is added
  • The design lead sees the count and credit balance without opening the app
  • Nobody discovers a low credit balance mid download

Questions, answered

Does it download icons on its own?

It only backs up icons your team has already added to a shared collection. WebRun never searches for or adds new icons without someone choosing them first.

Will it warn us before we run out of download credits?

Yes. It reads your current monthly credit balance each morning and flags it in the text whenever the balance is getting low.

Where are the license terms stored?

Each icon is filed in Google Drive next to a note of its license type, so the team has a record for attribution without reopening The Noun Project.

Put this on autopilot.
