Automated Vercel Build Failure Triage
Every run, WebRun opens the Vercel dashboard, checks recent deployments across your projects for failures, reads the build log to capture the failing step and the error, opens a Trello card carrying the commit and branch, and WhatsApps the developer who pushed it so the break is fixed the same day.
How do I make sure failed deployments get fixed quickly?
WebRun checks your Vercel deployments every hour for failed builds, reads each build log for the failing step and error, and opens a Trello card carrying the branch and commit. It then WhatsApps the developer who pushed it, and the on-call engineer too when production is affected.
- Failed builds reach the person who caused them within the hour
- Every card carries the error lines, so nobody re-opens the log to triage
- Production failures also reach on-call, not just the original author

What does WebRun do on every run?
The exact actions WebRun takes, in order - in plain language, so you can adjust anything.
-
WebRun signs in and gets to work

1
Vercel - find failed deployments
vercel.com
WebRun opens Vercel to find failed deployments. - Open the Vercel dashboard and review deployments since the last run across every project you track
- Capture deployments with a failed or errored status
- Open the build log for each failure and read the step that failed and the final error lines
- Record the project, the environment, the branch, the commit message, and who pushed it
- Note whether production or only a preview deployment is affected, since production breaks come first
Done when Every failed deployment has its error, branch, commit, and author captured.

Trello - card the failure with its error
trello.com
WebRun opens Trello to card the failure with its error. - Open your engineering board in Trello
- Create a card per failed deployment titled with the project and the failing step
- Paste the relevant error lines, the branch, the commit message, and the deployment link into the description
- Label production failures as urgent and assign the member who pushed the commit
- Skip failures that already have an open card, and close cards once a later deployment on that branch succeeds
Done when Every failure has an owned card with its error, and fixed ones are closed.

WhatsApp - tell the developer who pushed it
whatsapp.com
WebRun opens WhatsApp to tell the developer who pushed it. - WhatsApp the developer who pushed the failing commit with the project, the failing step, and the card link
- Message the on-call engineer as well when the failure hit production
- Send yourself a roll-up only when there were failures, so quiet hours stay quiet
- Never redeploy, roll back, promote a deployment, or change an environment variable. WebRun reports and an engineer decides
Done when Every failure has been sent to the person who pushed it.
How is each run configured?
Secure by default
Connect once, stays signed in
WebRun signs in once and keeps each session in a persistent environment, so every run picks up right where it left off.
Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Will it redeploy or roll back on its own?
No. WebRun reads deployment status and build logs, then reports. Redeploying, rolling back, promoting a preview, and editing environment variables all stay with an engineer, so nothing ships because an automation reacted.
How does it know who to message?
It reads the commit behind the failed deployment and messages the developer who pushed it. When the failure hit production, the on-call engineer is messaged as well so a customer-facing break is never one person's problem.
Will it spam me about the same broken branch?
No. WebRun checks for an existing card before creating one, so a branch failing repeatedly produces a single card. Once a later deployment on that branch succeeds, the card is closed automatically.
