Automated Flickr Upload Organization
Every night, WebRun opens Flickr, goes through the photos uploaded that day, spots the ones with no title, no tags, or no album, works out a suggested title, tag set, and album for each from the photo and its neighbours, posts the suggestions to Microsoft Teams, and drafts you a Gmail summary of what needs applying.
How do I keep new photo uploads titled, tagged, and in albums?
WebRun opens Flickr every night, finds the day's uploads with no title, no tags, or no album, and works out a suggested title, tag set, and album for each from its capture date and the photos around it. It posts the list to Microsoft Teams and drafts you a Gmail summary of what needs applying.
- The archive stays searchable instead of becoming a pile
- Every new upload is checked the night it lands
- Titles and tags arrive suggested, so filing is a review not a chore
Built for photographers · photo archivists · hobbyist shooters · visual content teams

Gmail - draft the night's summary
gmail.com
WebRun opens Gmail to draft the night's summary. - Draft an email to yourself summarising how many uploads need a title, tags, or an album
- List the photos with the most missing, so the worst are handled first
- Leave the draft unsent unless you have asked for it to go to your own address
- Never email a photo or a link to anyone else
Done when A summary of tonight's organizing work is waiting in Gmail.
How is each run configured?
Secure by default
Connect once, stays signed in
WebRun signs in once and keeps each session in a persistent environment, so every run picks up right where it left off.
Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Will it edit my photos or change privacy?
No. WebRun reads your stream and suggests titles, tags, and albums. It renames nothing, tags nothing, moves nothing into an album, and never changes a privacy setting. You apply the changes yourself.
Does it post publicly?
No. Suggestions go to your own Microsoft Teams channel and a Gmail draft addressed to you. Nothing is posted to Flickr, shared to a group, or made public.
Where do the suggestions come from?
From the photo itself and its context: the capture date, any tags already on it, and the neighbouring photos in your stream, so a shoot uploaded together gets a consistent title and album.
