How do I get a weekly performance scorecard for my Podbean show?

It updates each episode's card on Trello and sends you a WhatsApp scorecard calling out the best and worst performing episode, so you see how the show is trending without logging into Podbean yourself.

  • Weekly performance arrives on WhatsApp without opening Podbean
  • Best and worst episodes are easy to spot every week
  • Episode tracking on Trello stays current automatically

Questions, answered

Does it publish or edit episodes?

No. WebRun only reads performance numbers and updates the Trello board. Publishing stays entirely in Podbean with you.

Who receives the WhatsApp scorecard?

Just you, or whoever on your team you set it to. It's never sent to your listeners or Patron subscribers.

How is the best and worst episode picked?

By comparing each published episode's downloads this week against the others, so it's relative to your own show, not an external benchmark.
