Automated CommSec Dividend Date Reminders
Every Monday, WebRun opens CommSec, reads every holding in your portfolio, checks each one for an upcoming ex-dividend or payment date in the next 30 days, adds an event to Google Calendar for each, and posts a summary to Microsoft Teams so upcoming dividend income is always visible ahead of time.
How do I track upcoming ex-dividend dates on my CommSec holdings?
WebRun reads every CommSec holding each Monday and checks for an ex-dividend or payment date announced within the next 30 days, adding a calendar event for each one it finds. It posts a summary to Microsoft Teams with expected dividend income across the portfolio, so upcoming dividend timing is always visible well before the date arrives.
- Every upcoming ex-dividend date lands on the calendar with 30 days of notice
- Expected dividend income across the whole portfolio is totaled automatically
- No dividend date is missed because it was buried in a holdings page
Built for ASX investors · dividend income investors · CommSec users · long-term shareholders

Questions, answered
Does WebRun set up dividend reinvestment or buy shares before an ex-dividend date?
No. WebRun only reads announced dividend dates and reports on them. It never places an order, never enrolls or changes a dividend reinvestment plan, and never moves funds.
How far ahead does it look for dividend dates?
30 days by default, so events land on your calendar with enough notice, and that window can be extended for holdings you plan further ahead for.
What if CommSec has not announced a date yet?
Nothing is added until CommSec itself shows a confirmed ex-dividend or payment date, so the calendar only ever reflects announced, real dates.
