Automated TrueLayer Failed Payment Alerts
Every hour, WebRun opens the TrueLayer payments dashboard, finds any open banking payment that failed, expired, or has been pending too long, posts the exception list to Telegram, and sends an SMS through Twilio when a high-value payment needs attention.
How do I know when a TrueLayer bank payment fails or gets stuck?
WebRun checks TrueLayer's open banking payments every hour, flags any payment that failed, expired, or has been stuck too long, and posts the list with payer, amount, and reason to Telegram. Payments above your threshold also trigger a Twilio text, so a stalled high-value bank payment never sits unnoticed.
- Failed or stuck payments get flagged within the hour
- High-value failures trigger an SMS so nothing big is missed
- Ops sees every failure reason grouped in one Telegram digest

Questions, answered
How fast does it catch a failed payment?
Within the hour. WebRun checks the TrueLayer payments dashboard every hour and posts any failed or stuck payment to Telegram the same run it appears.
Will WebRun retry or resend a failed payment on its own?
No. WebRun only reports on failed or stuck payments it finds in TrueLayer. It never retries, resends, refunds, or moves money itself. Any retry stays queued for a human to trigger.
Why do some failures also send an SMS?
Payments over the threshold you set also get a Twilio text, so a stalled high-value bank payment never sits unnoticed in a channel nobody is watching.
