In short

How do I track Acast episode performance without manual data entry?

WebRun pulls each episode's downloads, listens, and ad revenue from Acast every Monday, logs a row per episode in Airtable, and updates your Notion content calendar to show what's published. It keeps your performance tracker and editorial calendar in sync automatically, so you always know how a show is doing without opening Acast and re-typing numbers.

  • Episode performance is logged automatically instead of copied by hand
  • The content calendar always reflects what's actually live
  • Missing show notes get caught before they're forgotten

Questions, answered

Does it change what's actually published on Acast?

No. It only reads performance numbers from Acast and writes them into Airtable and Notion. Publishing and episode settings stay exactly as you left them.

What if an episode is still in its first week?

It's logged the same way, so early numbers show up right away and get refreshed as downloads climb.

Does it flag missing show notes?

Yes. The Notion content calendar shows any published episode still missing show notes, so nothing goes live incomplete.

Put this on autopilot.
