Automated BritBox Premiere Date Tracking
Every Monday, WebRun opens BritBox, checks the coming soon page for announced premiere dates, adds or updates each one on Google Calendar, and posts a Microsoft Teams reminder to the content team the week before a title is due to launch.
How do I keep track of upcoming BritBox premiere dates?
WebRun checks BritBox every Monday for announced premiere dates, adds or updates each one on Google Calendar, and posts a Microsoft Teams reminder to the content team the week before a title launches. It only reads the public coming soon page, so a content team never misses a premiere date without watching BritBox directly.
- Premiere dates are on the calendar as soon as BritBox announces them
- The content team gets a launch week reminder without checking manually
- Moved premiere dates update automatically instead of going stale

Questions, answered
Does WebRun play anything on BritBox?
No. It only reads the coming soon page for announced premiere dates. It never starts playback or changes account settings.
What happens if a premiere date moves?
It rereads BritBox every Monday, so a moved premiere updates on the calendar and the reminder goes out for the new date instead.
Does the reminder go out more than once?
It posts once a premiere falls inside the coming week, so you get a single, timely heads up rather than repeated alerts for the same title.
