Automated Hindenburg Overdue Edit Reminders
Every morning, WebRun checks Google Calendar for recording sessions from the past week, checks Hindenburg for a matching project and export, flags any recording with no edit started after 2 days, and posts a Microsoft Teams reminder naming the assigned editor.
How do I catch Hindenburg episode edits before they're overdue?
WebRun checks Google Calendar every morning for recording sessions from the past week and matches each one to its project in Hindenburg. Any recording with no edit started after 2 days gets posted to Microsoft Teams with the assigned editor's name, so an episode never quietly misses its publish date.
- Overdue episode edits get caught within 2 days
- Editors get named directly in the Teams reminder
- No recording slips past its planned publish date unnoticed

Questions, answered
Does it edit or export the episode itself?
No. WebRun only checks project status and reminds the assigned editor. All editing and exporting is still done by a person in Hindenburg.
How does it know who's assigned?
It reads the host or editor listed on the Google Calendar recording session, so the Teams reminder always goes to the right person.
What if editing already started?
Any project with save or export activity in Hindenburg is treated as in progress and skipped from the overdue list.
