Automated JW Player Weekly Viewership Scorecard
Every Monday, WebRun opens the JW Player dashboard, pulls plays, watch time, and completion rate for the last 7 days, posts a weekly scorecard to Telegram, and texts you by Twilio if any video's plays dropped sharply.
How do I track weekly viewership trends in JW Player?
WebRun pulls plays, watch time, and completion rate from the JW Player dashboard every Monday, comparing each video against the previous week. It posts a weekly scorecard to your team's Telegram channel, and texts you directly by Twilio if any video's plays dropped more than 30 percent, so a sudden viewership problem gets noticed the same week it happens.
- Viewership trends are visible every week without opening the dashboard
- A sharp drop in plays gets a same-week text alert
- Top-performing videos are easy to spot at a glance
