Keep an eye on your NuGet package downloads
Every morning, WebRun opens NuGet, checks the prior day's download count and latest published version for each package your team maintains, posts a summary to Slack showing the trend, and separately flags Telegram when a package's downloads spike well above its usual daily range so a sudden surge in adoption or a dependency problem gets noticed right away.

How do I track NuGet package downloads and catch a sudden spike?
WebRun checks NuGet every morning for the prior day's download count and version of each package your team maintains, posting a summary to Slack. A package whose downloads spike well above its usual range also gets flagged separately in Telegram, so a sudden surge in adoption or a dependency problem gets noticed right away.
- Download trends are tracked automatically every day
- A sudden spike gets flagged instead of going unnoticed
- The team sees package health without checking NuGet by hand

Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Will it publish a new package version?
No. WebRun only reads public NuGet statistics. Publishing a new version is always done by a maintainer, on purpose.
What counts as a spike?
A download count well above the package's usual daily range, so ordinary day to day variation doesn't get flagged.
Does this work for private feeds?
It reads whatever download and version data your NuGet account has access to, including packages your team maintains on a private feed.
