Automated CapCut Pre-Publish Format Check

Every morning, WebRun opens CapCut, reviews the projects marked ready to publish, checks each one for captions and the aspect ratio the destination channel needs, writes a pass or fail with the exact gap into Notion, and messages the editor the failures on WhatsApp.

In short

How do I check captions and aspect ratio before publishing a video?

Every morning, WebRun opens CapCut, reviews the projects your team marked ready to publish, and checks each for captions across the timeline and the aspect ratio its destination channel needs. It records a pass or fail with the exact gap in Notion and messages the editor the failures on WhatsApp before anything goes out.

  • A silent or wrongly cropped video never reaches a feed
  • Every failure names the exact gap, so the fix takes minutes
  • The content database carries a checked pass or fail per project

Step by step

What does WebRun do on every run?

The exact actions WebRun takes, in order - in plain language, so you can adjust anything.

  1. WebRun signs in and gets to work

    Opens www.capcut.com/login in a real browser with your saved login - no setup, no API keys.

  2. 1
    CapCut - check captions and aspect ratio
    capcut.com
    WebRun in CapCut: check captions and aspect ratio
    WebRun opens CapCut to check captions and aspect ratio.
    • Open CapCut and go to the projects your team has marked ready to publish
    • Check each project for captions across the whole timeline, not just the opening seconds
    • Read the project's aspect ratio and compare it against what the destination channel needs
    • Note whether an export exists for each channel the video is going to
    • Read only. Never export, publish, delete, or overwrite a project

    Done when Every ready project has been checked for captions, ratio, and exports.

  3. 2
    Notion - record pass or fail
    notion.so
    WebRun in Notion: record pass or fail
    WebRun opens Notion to record pass or fail.
    • Write a pass or fail per project into your content database
    • On a fail, name the exact gap: no captions, captions stop partway, wrong ratio for the channel, or a missing export
    • Link the project and name the editor who owns it
    • Clear a fail once a later run finds the gap fixed

    Done when Every ready project carries today's pass or fail with its reason.

  4. 3
    WhatsApp - message the editor the failures
    whatsapp.com
    WebRun in WhatsApp: message the editor the failures
    WebRun opens WhatsApp to message the editor the failures.
    • Message your internal editing group the projects that failed and why
    • Put anything due to publish today at the top
    • Link the Notion row so the fix and the record stay together

    Done when Editors know which edits are blocked before publishing time.

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it publish or export anything?

No. WebRun checks projects and reports what it finds. Exporting a version, fixing a crop, and publishing to a channel all stay with your editors, so no unfinished cut leaves the account.

Does it edit the project to fix the problem?

No. It never adds captions, changes a ratio, or touches the timeline. It names the exact gap in Notion and messages the editor, and the editor makes the change in CapCut.

How does it know what each channel needs?

You give WebRun the requirement per destination, for example a vertical version for one feed and a square version for another. Each project is checked against the channels it is going to.

Put this on autopilot.
