Automated iQIYI Catalog Change Tracking

Every morning, WebRun opens iQIYI, checks your tracked titles for new releases, catalog additions, and removals, adds each release date and any visible availability window to Google Calendar, and sends your team lead a WhatsApp alert when a tracked title is about to leave the catalog.

In short

How do I track when a title is leaving the iQIYI catalog?

WebRun checks your tracked titles on iQIYI every morning for new releases and catalog changes, logs each release date and availability window to Google Calendar, and sends your team lead a WhatsApp alert when a tracked title is about to leave the catalog, so a licensing or content team never misses a closing window.

  • Closing licensing windows get flagged before the title disappears
  • New releases are logged to the calendar the day they appear
  • The team lead only gets messaged when timing actually matters

Built for Content licensing teams · Media acquisitions managers · Streaming partnership teams · Entertainment marketing agencies

Questions, answered

Does WebRun license or purchase content for me?

No. WebRun only reads what is publicly visible on iQIYI's catalog. Any licensing, purchasing, or partnership decision is made by your team.

Will the team lead be messaged for every catalog update?

No. WhatsApp only fires when a tracked title is close to leaving the catalog. Routine additions just go on the calendar.

How does it know which titles to track?

You give it the list of titles or categories that matter to your team, and it checks only those on every run.

Put this on autopilot.
