Automated Zoho Sheet Threshold Alerts
Every morning, WebRun opens your tracker in Zoho Sheet, checks each row against the limits you set, saves a dated snapshot of the sheet to Google Drive, and sends you a short Twilio text listing only the rows that went out of range.
How do I get an alert when a spreadsheet value crosses a limit?
WebRun opens your Zoho Sheet tracker every morning, compares each row against the thresholds you set, and saves a dated copy of the workbook to Google Drive. It then texts you through Twilio with only the rows that went out of range, so you see problems on your phone before anyone else notices.
- Out-of-range rows reach your phone before the working day starts
- An unbroken dated backup history of the tracker in Google Drive
- No one has to open the workbook just to check whether anything went red
Built for operations managers · finance teams · small business owners · analysts

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 text customers?
No. Twilio texts go only to the internal numbers you put on the approved list. If a run would ever message someone outside that list, WebRun leaves the message unsent as a draft for you to approve first.
Does it change my Zoho Sheet?
No. WebRun reads the sheet and exports a copy. It never edits cells, deletes rows, or reorders columns in the live workbook, so your formulas and formatting stay exactly as you left them.
What if nothing breaks a threshold?
You get no text at all on a clean day, by default. The Google Drive snapshot is still saved, so you keep an unbroken history whether or not anything went red.
