How do I find out when a QNAP NAS device goes offline?
WebRun checks myQNAPcloud every morning for NAS devices offline more than 24 hours, reading the last seen time and registered owner for each. It emails the owner through Gmail and logs the current status of every device to Airtable, so a disconnected NAS gets a same day chase instead of going unnoticed for days.
- Offline devices chased the same morning, not days later
- Chase emails go to the actual device owner, not a shared inbox
- Reconnected devices clear from the list automatically

Questions, answered
Will it restart or reconfigure the NAS remotely?
No. WebRun only reads connection status and emails the owner. Restarting or troubleshooting a device is left to your IT team.
Who receives the chase email?
The registered owner of that specific device, so the right person gets asked to check it rather than a general IT inbox.
What happens once a device reconnects?
It reads the live connection status each morning, so a reconnected device is marked resolved in Airtable and stops getting chased.
