Automated Medium Story Stats Digest
Every Monday, WebRun opens Medium, checks views, reads, and claps on every story published in the past week, archives the full stats breakdown to Google Drive, and posts a digest to Slack naming the best performing story.
How do I track weekly performance across my Medium stories?
WebRun checks Medium every Monday for views, reads, and claps on every story from the past week, archives the full breakdown to Google Drive, and posts a digest to Slack naming the best performer and its read ratio. It never publishes a story itself, leaving your writing entirely in your hands.
- Story performance is recapped every Monday without opening Medium stats by hand
- Low read ratios get flagged so future stories can improve on them
- A full performance history builds in Drive week over week

Questions, answered
Does it publish new stories on its own?
No. It only reads stats for stories you already published. Writing and publishing a new story is still your call.
What is a read ratio?
The share of people who opened a story and actually read it through, a useful signal alongside raw views for how well a story landed.
How far back does the archive go?
Every week's stats are appended to the same Drive log, so you build a running performance history you can look back on anytime.
