Questions, answered

Does it change how downloads are measured?

No. WebRun only reads and exports the certified numbers Podtrac already reports. It never changes your measurement setup.

Can it track more than one show?

Yes, it exports totals for every show on your Podtrac account, broken out by episode.

What if a number looks off one week?

It's exported exactly as Podtrac reports it. WebRun doesn't adjust or estimate numbers, so the export always matches your official measurement.

Put this on autopilot.
