Automated Runway Render Handoffs

Every morning, WebRun signs in to Runway, reviews the generations that finished since the last run, records each clip's project, prompt notes, duration, and settings, posts the ready list to your Slack production channel, and drafts a Gmail handoff to the editor so finished work moves straight into the edit.

In short

How do I get finished AI video renders to my editor each morning?

WebRun hands off your Runway output every morning. It collects the generations that finished overnight, records each clip's project, duration, settings, and link, posts the ready list to your Slack production channel, and drafts a Gmail handoff to the editor for review before sending.

  • Finished clips reach the editor the morning they are ready
  • Failed generations are caught instead of discovered mid-edit
  • Every clip is handed over with the settings that produced it

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it email the client or the editor without me?

No. The handoff sits in Gmail as an unsent draft for a person to review and send. Only the internal Slack post goes out automatically.

Does it start new generations or spend credits?

No. WebRun only reads finished work. Starting a generation, re-queueing a failure, or buying credits is always a human decision.

What happens to generations that failed?

They are listed separately in the Slack post with the project they belong to, so someone can re-queue them rather than discovering the gap during the edit.

Put this on autopilot.
