Automated Podigee Overdue Draft Chasing
Every morning, WebRun opens Podigee, finds episodes past their scheduled publish date still marked draft, archives the day's overdue list to Google Drive, and texts the producer naming each one and how many days it has been stuck.
How do I catch Podigee episodes stuck in draft past their publish date?
WebRun checks Podigee every morning for episodes past their scheduled publish date still sitting in draft, archives the day's overdue list to Google Drive, and texts the producer naming each one and how many days it has been stuck. Nothing publishes on its own, but nothing overdue stays quiet either.
- Overdue drafts get caught the morning after they slip
- Producers are texted only when there's genuinely something to chase
- Every overdue day is archived in a running Drive log

Questions, answered
Does it publish the episode for me?
No. WebRun only flags overdue drafts and reminds the producer. Publishing an episode in Podigee is always done by a person.
How overdue does an episode have to be?
Any episode past its own scheduled publish date and still marked draft. It's flagged the very next morning, not left to pile up.
What if nothing is overdue?
Nothing gets texted. The producer only hears from WebRun when there's actually something to chase.
