Automated Pluto TV Channel Lineup Tracking

Every Monday, WebRun opens Pluto TV, checks the channel lineup for any new or removed channel in the categories you track, logs each change to a Trello content board, and sends your team a WhatsApp summary so your coverage stays current with what's actually on the platform.

In short

How do I track new and removed channels on Pluto TV?

WebRun checks the Pluto TV channel lineup every Monday for additions and removals across the categories you track, logs each change to a Trello content board, and sends your team a WhatsApp summary, so a media or marketing team's coverage always matches what's actually live on the platform.

  • Lineup changes are logged the same week they happen
  • Coverage teams stop manually rechecking the channel guide
  • Quiet weeks produce no noise, only real changes get a summary

Questions, answered

Does WebRun add channels to my watchlist or play them?

No. WebRun only reads the public channel lineup on Pluto TV. It never adds a channel to a watchlist or starts playback on your behalf.

Will the team get messaged every week even with no changes?

No. WhatsApp only sends when the lineup actually changed. A quiet week produces no message.

Can I track more than one category?

Yes. Give it every category your coverage follows and it checks all of them on every run.

Put this on autopilot.
