Questions, answered
Will it add anything to a live playlist automatically?
No. WebRun only reports new uploads. Adding a track to a live playlist or licensing shortlist is a decision made by a person.
How does it choose which artists to check?
It only checks the artists on your tracked list, so the digest stays limited to acts relevant to your playlist or catalog.
What if an artist uploads nothing that week?
They're simply left off that week's digest and Airtable log. Nothing is invented or estimated to fill a gap.
