Automated Pictory Video Draft Queue
Every Monday, WebRun opens Pictory, creates a draft project from each article or script approved last week, applies your branding template, checks the scenes and captions, opens a Trello card per video for a human to review, and logs every project in Airtable.
How do I turn my written content into video drafts every week?
Every Monday, WebRun takes the articles and scripts you approved last week, creates a draft project in Pictory for each with your branding template applied, and checks the scenes and captions. It logs every project in Airtable and opens a Trello card so a person reviews before anything is published.
- Monday starts with drafts already built from last week's posts
- Every draft carries your branding template, so review is trimming not rebuilding
- Nothing publishes until a person approves the review card

Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Will it publish videos to social accounts?
No. Every project is left as an unpublished draft with a Trello review card. Trimming, approving, and publishing are all done by a person.
Where do the scripts come from?
From the approved items on your own content list, usually last week's published articles. WebRun only builds drafts from content you have already signed off.
Will it make the same video twice?
No. It marks each source article as queued in Airtable once a draft exists, so next Monday's run only picks up new approved content.
