In short

How do I get finished Powtoon videos approved before they ship?

WebRun checks Powtoon every morning for projects that finished rendering, capturing each one's name, length, and intended use. It logs the project to Airtable as Ready for Approval and drafts a Gmail request to the stakeholder who signs off, but never sends it, so a finished video always gets a human review before it ships anywhere.

  • Finished videos never ship without a stakeholder review
  • Project status is tracked in Airtable without manual updates
  • Approval requests are ready to send the same day a video finishes

Questions, answered

Does it send the video to the stakeholder for approval?

No. WebRun drafts the approval request email in Gmail and leaves it unsent. Your team decides when to send it and to whom.

Does it publish or share the video anywhere?

No. It only reads Powtoon's render status and prepares a draft. Sharing or publishing the finished video is a separate, human step.

What happens to a project still rendering?

It's left off the tracker until it finishes. Nothing gets marked ready before Powtoon has actually completed the export.

Put this on autopilot.
