Ghost Automated Weekly Publishing Scorecard

Every Monday, WebRun opens the Ghost admin dashboard, counts posts published and new members and reads the open rate on the latest newsletter send, attaches the scorecard as notes on your team's editorial review event in Google Calendar, and posts the same summary to Microsoft Teams.

In short

How do I track Ghost posts, member growth, and newsletter opens weekly?

WebRun reviews your Ghost publication every Monday, counting posts published and new members and reading the open rate on the latest newsletter send. It attaches the scorecard as notes on your team's editorial review event in Google Calendar and posts the same summary to Microsoft Teams, so the team walks into review already knowing how the week went.

  • Every week gets a posts, member, and open rate review
  • Flat or declining member growth gets flagged early
  • The team walks into editorial review already informed

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it publish a post or send a newsletter on its own?

No. WebRun only reads what's already published and sent, then reports on it. Publishing a post or sending a newsletter always stays a manual step in Ghost.

How is member growth tracked?

It compares this week's total member count against last week's, so the trend, not just a single day's number, is what shows up in the scorecard.

Does it cover every post and every newsletter send?

Yes. It reviews everything published and sent that week, not a hand picked subset.

Put this on autopilot.
