How do I track my Pinecast episode downloads every week?

WebRun ranks your Pinecast episodes by downloads every Monday, posting a scorecard to Telegram with the week's totals and the top performers first. If an episode beats your previous best week or single-episode record, it texts you right away, so a milestone gets noticed the day it happens, not buried in a routine report.

  • Every episode's downloads are ranked automatically each week
  • Download records get flagged by text the day they happen
  • No need to open Pinecast analytics to see what's trending

Questions, answered

Does it publish or promote episodes?

No. WebRun only reads download numbers and reports on them. It never publishes, edits, or promotes an episode on its own.

What counts as a new best?

An episode's downloads beating your previous best single week or your previous best single episode, exactly as recorded in Pinecast analytics.

Will I get a text every week?

No. You're only texted when a genuine record is broken. A normal week just gets the Telegram scorecard.
