Escalate builds that keep failing on Travis CI
Every hour, WebRun opens Travis CI, reviews recent build results across watched repositories, posts a Slack summary of failures, and sends a Telegram alert when a branch has failed three or more times in a row so a stuck build does not sit quietly.

How do I catch a Travis CI branch that keeps failing?
WebRun checks Travis CI every hour across your watched repositories, posts a Slack summary of which branches passed or failed, and sends a separate Telegram alert whenever a branch fails three times in a row. That way routine build noise stays in Slack while a genuinely stuck branch gets escalated where it will be seen.
- Routine build status is visible in Slack every hour
- A branch stuck failing three times gets escalated on Telegram automatically
- Stuck branches get seen instead of scrolling out of a busy channel

Questions, answered
Will WebRun rerun or fix the failing build?
No. It only reports and escalates. Rerunning a build or pushing a fix stays with the developer who owns the branch.
Why escalate to Telegram instead of just Slack?
A branch failing three times in a row usually means a real blocker, not a flake, so it gets a separate Telegram alert in addition to the routine Slack summary.
Can it watch more than one repository?
Yes. Give it the list of repositories to watch and it checks all of them on the same hourly schedule.
