Automated Whooshkaa Download Spike Alerts
Every morning, WebRun opens Whooshkaa, reads yesterday's downloads for every show against its recent daily average, posts a digest to Telegram, and sends the producer a Twilio text when downloads spike or drop more than 30% from that average.
How do I know if my Whooshkaa podcast downloads suddenly spike or drop?
WebRun checks Whooshkaa every morning for each show's downloads from the day before, comparing them against its recent daily average. It posts a digest to Telegram every day, and if any show spikes or drops more than 30%, it texts the producer through Twilio, so an unusual swing in listenership gets noticed the same morning it happens.
- Unusual download swings get caught the same morning
- The team gets a daily digest without opening Whooshkaa
- Only real spikes or drops trigger a text, not routine daily noise

Questions, answered
What counts as a spike or a drop?
A show's daily downloads moving more than 30% away from its recent daily average, in either direction, compared against Whooshkaa's own numbers.
Who gets the text alert?
Only the producer, and only on days when a show actually crosses the threshold. Most days it's just the Telegram digest with no text.
Does it work for shows with very few downloads?
Yes, it compares against that show's own recent average, so small shows get flagged for their own meaningful swings, not judged against bigger shows.
