In short

How do I track how my Pexels uploads are performing each week?

WebRun signs in to Pexels every Monday and reads the views, downloads, and likes shown against each of your uploaded photos and videos. It writes a dated row per upload into Airtable with the week-on-week change, then texts you the top performers through Twilio so you can shoot more of what works.

  • Every upload carries a week-on-week views and downloads trend
  • Top-performing subjects are named, not guessed
  • The text goes only to the one number you configure

Questions, answered

Who receives the text message?

Only the single number you configure at setup, which is normally your own phone. WebRun never texts a client, a follower, or anyone who downloaded your work.

Does it upload, edit, or delete any of my photos?

No. WebRun signs in and reads the numbers shown against your existing uploads. It never uploads a new file, edits a listing, or removes anything from your profile.

What if a stat is not shown for an upload?

The row is written with the fields that are visible and the missing ones left blank, so the record stays honest instead of guessing a number.

Put this on autopilot.

Turn it on in minutes - or have our team set it up for you.
