Secure by default
Connect once, stays signed in
WebRun signs in once and keeps each session in a persistent environment, so every run picks up right where it left off.
Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Will it publish a video once it is approved?
No. WebRun never publishes, shares, or exports a Lumen5 video. It reports what is waiting and leaves publishing entirely to your team.
Do reviewers get emailed automatically?
No. Each nudge is left as an unsent Gmail draft. You read it and press send, so no reviewer hears from the automation without your approval.
How often does the same reviewer get chased?
Once per run at most, and all their waiting videos are combined into a single email rather than one message per video, so a busy reviewer gets one clear list.
