Never let the content calendar run empty

Every Thursday, WebRun opens Metricool, looks across the next two weeks of the planner, lists the days and networks with nothing queued, books a writing block in Google Calendar big enough to fill the gaps, and sends you a WhatsApp nudge naming the emptiest days first.

In short

How do I find gaps in my social media content calendar each week?

WebRun opens Metricool every Thursday and scans the next two weeks of the planner for days and networks with nothing queued. It books a writing block in Google Calendar sized to the gaps and sends a WhatsApp nudge naming the emptiest days, so the content calendar never quietly runs dry.

  • Empty days are spotted two weeks out, not the morning of
  • Writing time is booked instead of hoped for
  • Under-served networks stop being the ones you forget

Questions, answered

Will it post anything to my social accounts?

No. WebRun only reads the Metricool planner to find gaps. It never writes, schedules, or publishes a post, so nothing reaches a network without you creating it yourself.

How does it decide a day is a gap?

A day counts as a gap when a network you have marked active has nothing queued on it. You also set a minimum posts per week per network, and any week under that number is flagged even if a few days have content.

Will my calendar fill up with duplicate blocks?

No. It updates the block it already created for that week rather than adding another, so you end up with one writing session on the calendar, not a stack of them.

Put this on autopilot.
