Automated Podcastle Show Notes Drafting
Every night, WebRun opens Podcastle, finds the episodes finished since the last run, reads each transcript, drafts show notes with a summary, timestamped chapters and pull quotes into a Notion page, and queues you a Twilio text saying which episodes have a pack waiting.
How do I generate show notes from a finished podcast episode?
WebRun opens Podcastle every night, finds the episodes finished since the last run, and reads each transcript. It drafts a Notion page per episode with a summary, timestamped chapters and pull quotes, then queues a Twilio text telling you which packs are waiting, so publishing starts from a draft rather than the raw audio.
- Show notes are drafted overnight, not scrubbed together by hand
- Every chapter and quote carries its timestamp
- Nothing publishes until a producer has read it

How is each run configured?
Secure by default
Connect once, stays signed in
WebRun signs in once and keeps each session in a persistent environment, so every run picks up right where it left off.
Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Will it publish the show notes anywhere?
No. Every page is written into your own Notion workspace and marked as a draft. Publishing to your podcast host, your site, or social stays a human action after you have read it.
Where do the pull quotes come from?
From the episode transcript itself, quoted with the timestamp so you can hear the line before you use it. WebRun does not invent quotes or attribute words a guest did not say.
Will it text my guests?
No. The text is queued against your own number and waits for your approval. WebRun never messages a guest, a listener, or anyone outside your own saved numbers.
