Automated Auphonic Transcript Archiving

Every morning, WebRun opens Auphonic, finds the productions that finished overnight, collects each one's transcript, chapter marks, and output file details, files them against the right episode in Airtable, and tells your show notes writer on Telegram which episodes are ready to work from.

In short

How do I get transcripts and chapters out of Auphonic automatically?

WebRun opens Auphonic every morning, finds the productions that finished overnight, and collects each one's transcript and chapter marks. It files them against the right episode in Airtable and posts to Telegram which episodes are ready, so the show notes writer starts work without waiting on a manual export.

  • Show notes start from the transcript the morning after a production finishes
  • Transcripts and chapters live in Airtable, searchable across every episode
  • Failed productions are named instead of quietly skipped

Questions, answered

Does it publish the episode or change the production?

No. WebRun only reads finished productions and copies the text out. Publishing, re-encoding, and editing a production stay entirely with your editor.

What happens to productions that failed?

They are skipped rather than filed, and named in the Telegram post so the editor knows something needs a rerun. Only cleanly finished productions reach Airtable.

Will it overwrite a transcript I already edited?

No. It fills the transcript and chapter fields on episode rows that are still empty and creates a new row when it finds no match, so hand-edited text is left alone.

Put this on autopilot.
