Automated Zulip Morning Stream Digest
Every morning, WebRun opens Zulip, reads the streams you nominate, summarises each topic that moved since yesterday into a few lines with who was involved and what was decided, posts the brief to your Microsoft Teams channel, and pings Telegram if you were mentioned or a decision needs you.
How do I catch up on team chat without reading every message?
WebRun writes your Zulip catch-up every morning. It reads the streams you nominate, summarises each topic that moved overnight with who took part and what was decided, posts the brief to a Microsoft Teams channel, and pings Telegram only when you were mentioned or asked something directly.
- A hundred overnight messages become a brief you read in two minutes
- Direct mentions reach you separately, so nothing aimed at you is buried
- The tool writes nothing into Zulip, so no colleague sees automated noise
Built for engineering managers · distributed teams · open source maintainers · product leads

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 reply in Zulip or mark things as read?
No. WebRun reads the streams you nominate and writes nothing back. It never posts a message, adds a reaction, resolves a topic, or changes your read state, so your colleagues see no activity from it.
Which streams does it cover?
Only the ones you name, for example engineering, incidents, and product. Private streams and direct messages are left out unless you explicitly add them, which keeps sensitive threads out of the brief.
Will the summary end up somewhere public?
No. The brief goes to the private Microsoft Teams channel you choose and the mention ping goes to your own Telegram chat. Nothing is published outside your organisation.
