Automated Zerodha Margin Utilization Alerts
Every 30 minutes during market hours, WebRun opens Zerodha Kite, reads your available margin, margin used, and current mark-to-market on open positions, and the moment margin utilization crosses the percentage threshold you set, sends you a Telegram message and a Twilio text so you can act before a margin call.
How do I get alerted before my Zerodha margin utilization gets too high?
WebRun checks your Zerodha Kite margin utilization and mark-to-market every 30 minutes during market hours, and the moment usage crosses a percentage threshold you set, sends a Telegram message and a backup text naming the current percentage and the position driving it. Managing the position stays entirely your call, WebRun only gives you the early warning.
- A margin call risk is flagged 30 minutes at a time, not discovered after the fact
- The threshold matches your own risk tolerance, not a generic default
- Two channels back each other up so a critical alert is less likely to be missed
Built for intraday traders · F&O traders · active retail traders · leveraged position holders

Questions, answered
Will WebRun close a position to reduce my margin usage?
No. WebRun only reads your margin and MTM and alerts you. It never places, closes, or modifies an order, and it never adds funds to your account. Managing the margin call itself is always your decision.
How is the alert threshold set?
You choose the margin utilization percentage that should trigger an alert when you turn the template on, so it matches how much buffer you personally want to keep.
Why send both Telegram and a text?
Margin alerts are time-sensitive, so the text backs up Telegram in case a notification is missed, giving you two chances to see it before it becomes urgent.
