Automatic Snapchat Story Archiving
Every night, WebRun opens Snapchat, goes through the Stories your account posted today with their view counts, writes a dated row per Snap into Airtable before the 24 hour window closes, and sends you a WhatsApp recap of what went out and how it did.
How do I archive my Snapchat Stories before they expire?
WebRun opens Snapchat every night, reads the Stories your account posted that day, and captures each Snap's caption, posting time, and view count before the 24 hour window closes. It writes a dated row per Snap into Airtable and sends a WhatsApp recap, so your posting history survives the expiry.
- Every Snap is recorded with its views before it expires
- A dated posting history you can read back by week or month
- Snaps missing from Memories are flagged while they can still be saved

Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Will it post or delete anything on Snapchat?
No. WebRun only reads your own Stories and records what it finds. It never posts a Snap, never replies to anyone, and never deletes anything from your account.
Why run it at night?
Because a Story expires after about 24 hours. Running late in the evening captures the day's Snaps with close to their final view counts, while they are still readable.
Does it read my private chats?
No. It looks only at the Stories your own account posted and their view counts. Chats with other people are outside what this workflow touches.
