Automated Skillshare Saved Class Backlog
Every Monday, WebRun opens Skillshare, reads your saved classes and My Classes list, picks out the ones sitting at zero progress, writes the backlog into Notion with the lessons and class project still ahead, and sends a short Twilio text nudging you to book one hour this week.
How do I get through the online classes I saved and never started?
WebRun opens Skillshare every Monday, reads your saved classes and My Classes list, and picks out the ones with no lessons watched. It writes the backlog into Notion with the lessons and project still ahead, then texts you through Twilio with one class worth starting this week.
- Untouched classes are counted every Monday instead of forgotten
- Each backlog row shows the lessons left, so an hour can be planned
- One specific class gets named each week rather than a vague reminder

How is each run configured?
Secure by default
Connect once, stays signed in
WebRun signs in once and keeps each session in a persistent environment, so every run picks up right where it left off.
Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Will it unsave or remove classes for me?
No. WebRun reads your saved list and writes the backlog into Notion. Removing a class from your saved list stays with you, so nothing you meant to keep disappears from Skillshare.
How is this different from a completions digest?
A completions digest reports the classes you finished. This run reports the opposite: the classes with zero lessons watched, which never appear in a completion report and quietly grow into a saved list you stop reading.
Can a manager run this for a team?
Yes. Point WebRun at a team account and the Notion table holds each learner's untouched classes, so a learning lead sees where assigned training has not been started rather than only where it finished.
