Automated Transistor Multi-Show Download Digest
Every morning, WebRun opens Transistor, pulls yesterday's downloads for every show on the account, posts a cross-show digest to Slack, and pings Telegram directly if any show's downloads dropped more than 25 percent.
How do I track downloads across multiple Transistor shows in one place?
WebRun checks Transistor every morning for downloads across every show on your account, comparing each against its own 7 day average. It posts a cross-show digest to Slack so the whole lineup is visible at a glance, and pings Telegram directly if any show's downloads drop more than 25 percent, so a struggling show gets noticed the day it happens.
- Every show's downloads are visible in one place each morning
- A struggling show gets flagged the same day
- No manual comparison across shows required

Questions, answered
Does it work if I only have one show?
Yes. It just reports on the one show, but it's most useful once you're running several shows under one Transistor account.
What counts as a sharp drop?
Downloads more than 25 percent below that show's own 7 day average, so the alert is relative to its normal pattern.
Does it change any show's settings?
No. WebRun only reads download numbers across your account. Nothing about a show's settings or episodes is changed.
