Automated Idealist Weekly Applicant Scorecard
Every Monday, WebRun opens your Idealist organization dashboard, reads applicant and inquiry counts for every active job and volunteer posting, logs the week's numbers to Airtable, and writes a short summary in Notion for the team.
How do I track how my Idealist job and volunteer postings are performing?
WebRun reviews your Idealist postings every Monday and reads the applicant or inquiry count each one earned that week. It logs the numbers to Airtable and writes a short summary in Notion flagging postings with weak response, so a nonprofit or mission-driven team gets a weekly scorecard without checking Idealist manually.
- Posting performance is logged automatically every week
- Weak performing postings get flagged before they waste effort
- Hiring and volunteer trends are visible at a glance
Built for nonprofits · mission-driven organizations · volunteer coordinators · HR teams

Questions, answered
Does it edit or renew my Idealist postings?
No. WebRun only reads posting performance. Editing, renewing, or removing a posting is still something you do yourself in Idealist.
Can I see trends over time, not just this week?
Yes. Each week adds a new record to the same Airtable base, so prior weeks stay visible and trends are easy to spot.
How do I know which postings need attention?
The Notion summary flags any posting that has gone two weeks with little response, so your team can decide whether to rewrite or promote it.
