Automated Comscore Audience Trend Reports

Every Monday, WebRun opens Comscore, reads the latest reporting period's unique visitors, time spent, demographic composition, and competitive ranking, appends the period as a new row to the shared trend file in Google Drive, and sends the headline numbers to WhatsApp.

In short

How do I keep a running history of my Comscore audience numbers?

Every Monday WebRun opens Comscore, reads the reporting period's unique visitors, time spent, demographic composition, and competitive ranking, then appends that row to a single trend file in Google Drive. WebRun sends the headline numbers to WhatsApp, so period over period questions get answered from one file.

  • Trend questions are answered from one file instead of a fresh pull
  • Every reporting period is captured with the same fields in the same place
  • The team sees the period over period change without opening the platform

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it overwrite the numbers we already have?

No. WebRun only appends a new row for the current period and leaves every earlier row untouched, so the history builds up rather than being replaced.

Does it share the report outside our team?

No. The trend file stays in your own Google Drive folder with its existing permissions, and the summary goes only to your internal WhatsApp group.

What if the period has not been published yet?

It skips the run and says so, rather than writing a partial row, so the trend file never carries an incomplete period that skews a chart.

Put this on autopilot.

Turn it on in minutes - or have our team set it up for you.
