Automated Coursera Deadline Tracking
Every Monday, WebRun opens Coursera, reads each enrolled course with its next deadline, remaining items, and completion percentage, creates or updates a dated Trello card per course, and sends a short WhatsApp list of everything due in the next seven days so no assignment deadline arrives as a surprise.
How do I keep track of my Coursera deadlines and course progress?
WebRun keeps your Coursera deadlines in view. Every Monday it reads each enrolled course with its next deadline, outstanding items, and completion percentage, creates or updates a dated Trello card per course, and sends a WhatsApp list of everything due within seven days, overdue items first.
- Every deadline has a dated card before the week starts
- Overdue items are named first, not buried
- Completed courses leave the list automatically

Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Does it submit assignments or take quizzes?
No. WebRun only reads your course progress and deadlines and organises them. Every assignment, quiz, and peer review is completed and submitted by you, so nothing is ever filed on your behalf.
Can it track a whole team's courses?
Yes, when the courses sit in an account WebRun can sign into. It creates a card per learner and course and sends the WhatsApp list to your learning lead, so team training progress is visible in one place.
What happens when I finish a course?
The card moves to your Done list and drops off the WhatsApp due list on the next run, so the board reflects what is genuinely still outstanding rather than everything you ever enrolled in.
