Automated RSS.com Distribution Reconciliation
Every morning, WebRun opens RSS.com, lists episodes published in the last 3 days, checks that each one shows up on Spotify and Apple Podcasts, logs the distribution status to Airtable, and emails you if any platform is missing an episode.
How do I know if an RSS.com episode is missing from Spotify or Apple Podcasts?
WebRun checks every RSS.com episode published in the last 3 days against Spotify and Apple Podcasts, logging each platform's distribution status to Airtable. If an episode is still missing from a platform after 3 days, it emails you a heads up, so a distribution gap gets caught before a listener notices it first.
- Distribution gaps get caught within 3 days
- Every episode's platform status is logged automatically
- No listener finds a missing episode before you do

Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Does it resubmit the feed to Spotify or Apple?
No. WebRun only checks and reports whether an episode appears. Any resubmission or fix is still done by you.
Why would an episode be missing from a platform?
Usually a delay in that platform picking up the RSS feed. The alert just makes sure a longer gap doesn't go unnoticed.
How long does it wait before flagging a gap?
3 days, giving normal feed processing time before treating a missing episode as worth a look.
