In short

How do I get a weekly performance scorecard for my Fireside.fm podcast?

WebRun checks Fireside.fm every Monday for last week's episode downloads and listens, then posts a ranked scorecard to Slack so your team sees what performed best. If an episode lands well above or below your usual average, it also sends a Telegram alert, so standout results never wait for someone to check the dashboard.

  • Teams see episode performance every Monday without logging in
  • Standout episodes get flagged the same week they happen
  • No need to check the dashboard to know what's working

Questions, answered

Does it post anything publicly?

No. WebRun only posts to your own Slack and Telegram, both private team channels. It never publishes anything to your public podcast feed or social accounts.

What counts as a standout episode?

One whose downloads land well above or well below your show's recent average, so the Telegram alert only fires when something is actually unusual.

Does it work for shows with multiple hosts?

Yes. The Slack scorecard covers every episode published that week regardless of which host recorded it.
