Reconnect the Roam pages nothing links to any more

In short

How do I find Roam pages that nothing links to?

Every Monday, WebRun opens your Roam graph, finds the pages with no linked references left pointing at them, and looks for unlinked mentions that could become links. It writes the stranded pages and the suggested links into Airtable and texts you the weekly count, so notes stay findable.

  • Stranded notes are found weekly instead of sinking out of the graph
  • Each page comes with the links actually worth adding
  • Nothing in the graph is edited without you doing it

Questions, answered

Will it edit my graph?

No. WebRun reads pages and references and writes its findings to Airtable. Adding a link or a tag in Roam stays your decision.

Does it read my whole graph every week?

It focuses on pages created or edited in the last month by default, so the weekly list stays short and the run stays quick.

What if a page is meant to stand alone?

Mark it as intentional in Airtable and WebRun stops listing it, so the sweep only ever shows pages you would actually want reconnected.

Put this on autopilot.
