Automated Fathom Analytics Traffic Digest

Every morning, WebRun opens Fathom Analytics, checks yesterday's visits, top pages, and referrers against your trailing 7-day average, posts the digest to Telegram, and texts you through Twilio when visits are unusually high or low.

In short

How do I get a daily traffic digest from Fathom Analytics?

WebRun checks Fathom Analytics every morning for yesterday's visits, top pages, and referrers, comparing the total against your trailing 7-day average. It posts a Telegram digest with the day's traffic breakdown, and texts you through Twilio when visits are more than double or less than half normal, so a real spike or drop gets noticed fast.

  • Traffic spikes and drops get caught the same morning
  • The team gets top pages and referrers without opening Fathom
  • Only real anomalies trigger a text, not routine daily variation

Questions, answered

Will it change anything on the site based on traffic patterns?

No. WebRun only reports the traffic it finds. Acting on a spike or a drop, like checking a marketing campaign, is left to you.

How big does a change have to be for a text?

Visits have to be more than double or less than half your trailing 7-day average before it triggers a Twilio text, so ordinary day-to-day variation stays in the regular digest.

Does it track individual visitors?

No. It reads the same aggregate, privacy-first metrics Fathom itself reports, visits, pages, and referrers, without any personal visitor data.

Put this on autopilot.
