Automated Alitu Episode Publish Checks
When you finish an episode in Alitu, WebRun opens the recording, confirms the episode title, show notes, transcript, and publish destination are all in place, records a pass or fail per item in Airtable, and drafts the episode page in Notion for you to publish.
How do I check a podcast episode is ready before publishing it?
When you finish an episode in Alitu, WebRun walks the publish checklist: title, show notes, transcript, and destination. WebRun records a pass or fail per item in Airtable and drafts the episode page in Notion, then leaves the publish button to you, so nothing goes live half finished.
- No episode goes live missing its show notes or transcript
- Every episode has an auditable pass or fail row in Airtable
- The Notion page is written before publish day, not after

Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Will it publish the episode itself?
No. WebRun checks the episode and prepares the page, then stops. Pressing publish and pushing the episode to your host is always done by a person.
Can I change what is on the checklist?
Yes. The four defaults are title, show notes, transcript, and destination, and you can add your own items such as artwork, sponsor read, or chapter markers.
What happens when an item fails?
The Airtable row is marked blocked and the Notion page opens with a short list of what is missing, so the producer sees the gap before the episode goes near a release date.
