Automated Podcastics Show Launch Checklist

When a new show is created in Podcastics, WebRun checks that the cover art, description, category, and RSS settings are complete, creates a Trello launch checklist card for anything missing, and posts a Microsoft Teams update once the show is ready to publish.

In short

How do I make sure a new Podcastics show is ready before launch?

WebRun checks a new Podcastics show's cover art, description, category, and RSS settings the moment it's created, then builds a Trello launch checklist for anything missing. It posts a Microsoft Teams update once every item is ready, so a show never gets submitted to directories with an incomplete profile.

  • No show launches with a missing setup item
  • Launch checklists are ready the moment a show is created
  • Teams know instantly when a show is publish-ready

Questions, answered

Does it publish the show for me?

No. WebRun only checks the setup and reports what's ready. Publishing the show and submitting it to directories is still done by you in Podcastics.

What counts as launch-ready?

Cover art, description, category, and RSS settings are all filled in with nothing flagged missing.

Does it check episodes too, or just the show itself?

Just the show-level setup. Individual episode readiness isn't covered by this checklist.

Put this on autopilot.
