Automated YouTube Comment Queue Review
Every morning, WebRun opens YouTube Studio, works through the comments held for review and the likely spam bucket, separates real viewer questions from noise, drafts a suggested reply for each genuine one in Gmail for you to approve, and logs the whole queue in Google Sheets.
How do I clear the YouTube comments held for review on my channel?
Every morning WebRun opens YouTube Studio, reads the comments held for review and the likely spam tab, and sorts genuine viewer questions from noise. It drafts a suggested reply to each real question in Gmail for your approval and logs the whole queue in Google Sheets, so questions never sit invisible for weeks.

Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Will it approve or reply to comments without me?
No. WebRun only reads the held queue and drafts suggested replies into a Gmail draft. Approving, hiding, deleting, or posting a reply on your channel stays a manual click by you in YouTube Studio.
How does it tell a real question from spam?
It reads the comment text and the video it sits on, then sorts into genuine questions, ordinary praise, and obvious link bait. The spam tab is reported but never actioned, so a wrong call costs you nothing.
Does it touch comments that are already published?
No. WebRun works only the held for review and likely spam tabs. Comments already live on your videos are left alone entirely.
