Automated Zoho Creator Data Quality Scan
On every form submit, WebRun opens the new record in your Zoho Creator application, checks it for empty required fields, duplicates of existing records, and values that cannot be right, logs anything suspect in Airtable with the reason, and posts it to your Slack channel.
How do I catch bad data as it is submitted into my no-code app?
WebRun checks each new Zoho Creator record the moment a form is submitted, looking for empty required fields, duplicates of existing records, and values that cannot be right. It logs every problem in Airtable with the reason and posts it to Slack, so the reports built on that data stay honest.
- Bad submissions are named the moment they arrive
- Duplicates are caught before two records diverge
- Reports built on the data stop being quietly wrong

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 edit or delete a bad record?
No. WebRun only reads the submitted record and reports what looks wrong. Correcting a field, merging a duplicate, or removing a record stays with the app owner in Zoho Creator.
Does it contact the person who submitted the form?
No. Nothing goes back to the submitter. The findings go to your internal Airtable base and your Slack channel only.
Which checks does it run?
Empty required fields, likely duplicates of existing records, and values that break the rules you set, such as future dates, negative quantities, or malformed email addresses.
