Keep your GitBook docs from going stale

Every Monday, WebRun opens GitBook, checks every page across your spaces for its last edit date, logs the ones untouched for 90 days or more to an Airtable tracker with their owner, and creates a Notion checklist so nothing goes stale without someone assigned to fix it.

In short

How do I keep GitBook documentation from going stale?

WebRun checks your GitBook spaces every Monday for pages nobody has updated in 90 days or more. It logs each stale page to an Airtable tracker with its owner, then builds a Notion checklist grouped by owner, so outdated documentation gets a clear, assigned fix instead of sitting unnoticed.

  • Stale pages get a named owner instead of sitting forgotten
  • Every page's last edit date is checked every week without a manual audit
  • Fixed pages clear from the tracker automatically

Questions, answered

Will it edit or delete any GitBook pages?

No. WebRun only reads page edit dates in GitBook. It never edits, publishes, or deletes a page. Fixing the content is always left to the owner.

How does it decide a page is stale?

It compares each page's last edit date against a 90 day window. Anything untouched that long gets logged, and anything fixed since the last run is cleared automatically.

Can I mark a page as fine the way it is?

Yes. Mark a page as intentionally static in the Airtable tracker and WebRun skips it on every future run.

Put this on autopilot.
