Automated Webflow Publish Monitoring
Every morning, WebRun signs in to Webflow, opens each site in your workspace, checks the last publish result and whether staged changes are still waiting to go live, posts a status board to Microsoft Teams, and sends you a Twilio text when a publish has failed or a site has sat unpublished too long.
How do I get alerted when a Webflow site fails to publish?
WebRun signs in to Webflow each morning and checks every site in your workspace for a failed publish or staged changes that never went live. It posts a status board to Microsoft Teams and sends a Twilio text to the on-call owner when a site needs attention, so a broken deploy never hides for a week.
- A failed publish is spotted the next morning instead of by a customer
- Staged changes never sit unpublished for weeks unnoticed
- One board covers every site in the workspace, however many brands you run

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 publish my site for me?
No. WebRun only reads publish state and reports it. Publishing stays a human decision, so an unfinished design never goes live because an automation pushed it.
Will it text me every single morning?
No. The Twilio text fires only when a publish has failed or a site has sat unpublished past the window you set. Healthy mornings get the Teams board and nothing else.
Can it watch more than one site?
Yes. It walks every site in your Webflow workspace on each run, so agencies and multi-brand teams get one board covering all of them.
