Automated Last.fm Listener Reporting
Every Monday, WebRun opens Last.fm, checks your artist's scrobble count and top tracks for the prior week, saves a full listener report to Google Drive, and texts you the headline numbers so you always know the current trend without opening the site.
How do I get a weekly report of an artist's Last.fm listener stats?
WebRun checks Last.fm every Monday for an artist's scrobble count and top tracks from the prior week, saves a full report to Google Drive, and texts you the headline numbers. It only reads public listening stats, so an artist manager gets a weekly trend report without pulling numbers from Last.fm by hand every time.

Questions, answered
Does WebRun post updates on the artist's Last.fm page?
No. It only reads public scrobble counts and top tracks. It never edits the page or posts anything on the artist's behalf.
How far back does the listener history go?
As far back as the tracker has been running. Every weekly report adds to the archive in Google Drive, so the trend builds up automatically.
Can it track more than one artist?
Yes. Add every artist page you manage and each one gets its own weekly report and text summary.
