Automated RSS.com Episode Draft Prep
Every morning, WebRun opens RSS.com, finds episodes uploaded in draft with missing show notes, drafts a title, description, and tags for each, logs the draft as a row in an Airtable content calendar, and emails the host that it's ready to review before it publishes to podcast directories.
How do I get RSS.com episode drafts written and ready to review automatically?
WebRun checks RSS.com every morning for newly uploaded draft episodes, writing a proposed title, description, and tags for anything left incomplete. It logs the draft as a row in an Airtable content calendar and emails the host that it is ready to review, so every episode has finished show notes waiting before a human publishes it to podcast directories.
- Every new upload gets a proposed title and description within hours, not days
- The content calendar in Airtable stays current without manual entry
- Nothing reaches podcast directories without a human review first

Questions, answered
Does it publish the episode to Apple Podcasts and Spotify for me?
No. Publishing sends the episode out through the RSS feed to every directory at once, so WebRun only prepares a draft. A human always presses publish in RSS.com.
What does WebRun actually write?
A proposed title, description, and tags for any new upload that's missing them, based on the audio file name and your show's usual format.
What if I've already written the show notes myself?
It only drafts what's missing. An episode that already has a title, description, and tags is logged as is and skipped for drafting.
