Automated Yellowfin Insight Alert Handoff
Every morning, WebRun opens Yellowfin, reads the automated insights and anomalies it surfaced overnight across your dashboards, creates an Airtable ticket for each one worth investigating with the metric and the detail, and drafts a summary email in Gmail for the analyst, so unusual data patterns get a proper look instead of sitting unread in the insights feed.

Questions, answered
Does WebRun investigate or explain the insight itself?
No. It only surfaces and hands off what Yellowfin already flagged. Investigating the cause stays with your analyst.
Will the summary email go out without anyone reviewing it?
No. WebRun only drafts it in Gmail. Nothing reaches the analyst's inbox until it is reviewed and sent.
What if Yellowfin surfaces no significant insights overnight?
No ticket or email gets created that day. The automation only acts when there is actually something worth investigating.
