In short

How do I get reminded before a show leaves Foxtel?

WebRun checks the Foxtel leaving soon list every morning against your tracked titles, logs each removal date on the shared programming calendar, and sends a WhatsApp reminder 3 days before a tracked title disappears. Programming decisions happen ahead of the deadline instead of after content is already gone.

  • Tracked titles get flagged 3 days before they leave the library
  • Removal dates land on the programming calendar automatically
  • Programming decisions happen ahead of the deadline, not after

Questions, answered

Will it cancel or change our Foxtel subscription?

No. WebRun only reads the public leaving soon list. Any change to a subscription is made by a person on Foxtel directly.

How does it know which titles to track?

It only checks the titles on your tracked list, so the reminder stays focused on content relevant to your programming.

How far ahead does the reminder go out?

It sends a WhatsApp reminder 3 days before a tracked title's listed removal date, giving you time to plan around it.
