Automated Transistor Episode Promo Packs
Every morning, WebRun checks Transistor for episodes published since the last run, copies the title, show notes, share link and episode artwork details into a new Notion promo page, drafts three pieces of social copy and a newsletter blurb underneath, and messages your marketer on WhatsApp that the pack is ready.
How do I create promo content for every new podcast episode?
WebRun checks Transistor each morning for episodes published since the last run, then builds a Notion promo page holding the share link, show notes, three pull quotes, three drafted social posts and a newsletter blurb, and drafts your marketer a WhatsApp message saying the pack is ready.
- Promo copy is waiting the morning an episode goes live
- Nothing is published without a person approving it first
- Every episode gets the same promo treatment, not just the ones somebody remembered

Questions, answered
Will it post the social copy for me?
No. Every post and blurb is written into Notion as a draft and the page is marked Ready for review. Publishing to any social account or newsletter stays a human decision.
Does it change my episode or show notes in Transistor?
No. WebRun reads Transistor and never edits an episode, its notes, its artwork or its publish date. The promo pack is built entirely in Notion.
Will the drafts sound like my show?
Yes, if you give it a voice to match. Point WebRun at two or three social posts you liked and it writes the new drafts in the same tone, length and format.
