In short

How do I track new titles added to The Roku Channel each week?

WebRun checks The Roku Channel every Monday for newly added movies and shows, logs each title to Google Sheets with its genre and date, and emails your team a short weekly digest. It is read only, so it never starts playback or buys anything, making it a simple way to track a free streaming catalog for content research.

  • New Roku Channel titles are tracked without anyone browsing manually
  • Your team gets one weekly digest instead of checking the app daily
  • A running sheet of catalog changes builds up automatically

Questions, answered

Does WebRun play or purchase anything on The Roku Channel?

No. It only browses the new arrivals rows to see what was added. It never starts playback or buys an add on.

How current is the tracker sheet?

It rereads The Roku Channel every Monday, so the sheet reflects that week's new arrivals without manual checking.

Can it catch titles that were removed too?

The weekly check compares against the prior list, so a title that disappears from the catalog stands out in the sheet.
