Confirm today's posts will actually go out
Every morning, WebRun opens Sprout Social to confirm every post scheduled for today is still queued, approved, and free of a missing asset or a failed publish, checks the day against launches and key dates on the shared Google Calendar, and posts a short confirmation, or an alert if something needs fixing, to Slack.

How do I make sure scheduled social posts actually go out each day?
WebRun confirms your posting schedule will actually run before it does. Every morning it checks Sprout Social to make sure today's queued posts are approved, have their media attached, and show no publish error, cross-checks the day against launches on Google Calendar, and posts either an all-clear or a specific alert to Slack, so a stuck post never goes unnoticed.
- Stuck or unapproved posts get caught hours before their send time
- Launch-day posts get checked against the calendar automatically
- The team gets a daily all-clear instead of silently hoping nothing broke

Questions, answered
Will it fix a stuck post on its own?
No. WebRun only flags a stuck, unapproved, or asset-missing post to Slack. A person on your team still fixes and republishes it, so nothing changes in the queue unattended.
What counts as a problem worth flagging?
A post that is unapproved, missing its image or video, or shows a publish error in Sprout Social, plus a time-sensitive post that does not line up with the launch calendar.
What if every post today is fine?
It still posts a short all-clear to Slack, so the team has a positive confirmation rather than only ever hearing about problems.
