Automated Vzaar Publish Ready Alerts
Every morning, WebRun opens Vzaar, checks which videos finished transcoding and are ready to publish, posts a summary to Slack, and sends a Telegram escalation for any video that's sat ready but unpublished for more than two days, leaving the actual publish step to a human.
How do I make sure finished Vzaar videos actually get published?
WebRun checks Vzaar every morning for videos that finished transcoding and are marked ready to publish. It posts a Slack summary of what is newly ready, and if a video sits unpublished for more than two days, it sends a Telegram escalation, so a finished video never goes live late simply because it was forgotten in the queue.
- Finished videos stop sitting unpublished in the queue
- Anything stuck more than two days gets escalated automatically
- The team sees publish status every morning without opening Vzaar

Questions, answered
Does WebRun publish the video for me?
No. Making a video public is irreversible, so WebRun only flags readiness and chases the delay. Publishing in Vzaar always stays a step a person takes.
When does a video get escalated to Telegram?
Once it's finished transcoding, is marked ready, and has sat unpublished for more than two days. Newer ready videos only show up in the Slack summary.
Does it check every video or just new uploads?
Every video in the account gets checked each morning, not just what was uploaded that day, so nothing ready gets forgotten over time.
