In short

How do I keep track of AniList forum discussions about my show?

WebRun checks AniList forums and the activity feed every hour for mentions of your title. It alerts Slack right away when a thread's activity crosses your threshold and posts a weekly roundup of the top discussions to Telegram, so fan chatter about your show gets noticed without watching the forums yourself.

  • Fast-moving threads get flagged the same hour they pick up
  • A weekly roundup keeps the team current without daily scrolling
  • Quiet hours stay quiet instead of generating noise

Questions, answered

Does WebRun post or reply in the AniList forums?

No. This workflow only reads public threads and activity. It never posts, replies, or comments on AniList.

How is a thread flagged as active?

It compares each thread's reply count against its prior hourly check and alerts Slack once the pace crosses the threshold you set.

What's in the weekly roundup?

The most active threads about your title from the past week and the general tone of the discussion, posted as a short Telegram message.
