Automated Xata Project Database Setup Checklist
When a new project starts, WebRun opens Xata, works through the database setup checklist from creating the branch to defining the schema and access permissions, posts progress updates to Slack as each step completes, and pings the lead developer on Telegram once the database is fully ready, so the team can start building without checking setup status themselves.
How do I track the setup checklist for a new Xata project database?
WebRun works through the Xata database setup checklist for every new project, from creating the branch to defining schema and access. It posts progress to Slack as each step completes, and pings the lead developer on Telegram once the database is fully ready, so the team can start building without checking setup status themselves.
- Every new project database follows the same repeatable setup checklist
- Developers get notified the moment the database is actually ready
- Blocked steps get flagged instead of silently stalling a new project

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
Does WebRun write the application code that uses the database?
No. It only sets up the database branch, schema, and permissions. Writing the application that connects to it stays with your developers.
What happens if a setup step fails, like a permissions error?
It is flagged as outstanding in the Slack update, so the team knows what is blocking the project instead of assuming the database is ready.
Can the checklist be reused for every new project?
Yes. The same checklist runs for each new project database requested, so every setup follows the same steps in the same order.
