Automated Later Social Post Scorecards

Every Monday, WebRun opens Later, pulls last week's published posts with their engagement numbers per channel, posts a ranked top-and-bottom scorecard to your Slack channel, and leaves a tidy client-ready recap drafted in Gmail for you to send.

In short

How do I get a weekly report of my social post performance?

WebRun opens Later every Monday and reads last week's published posts with their per-channel engagement. It posts a ranked scorecard to Slack showing your top and bottom performers plus the week-over-week change, then drafts a client-ready recap in Gmail for you to approve and send.

  • The team opens Monday to last week's numbers already ranked
  • Top and bottom posts are named, so next week's plan writes itself
  • Client recaps take a review instead of an hour of copy-paste

Questions, answered

Will it email clients on its own?

No. The client recap is left unsent in Gmail Drafts for you to review and send. The only thing that posts automatically is the internal Slack scorecard.

Can it publish or reschedule posts in Later?

No. WebRun reads your Later analytics and calendar only. Publishing, editing, and rescheduling stay entirely in your hands.

Which numbers does the scorecard use?

The engagement figures Later already reports for each published post, broken out by channel, plus the change against the previous 7 days. Nothing is estimated or invented.
