In short

How do I keep track of new releases from the artists on my Spotify playlist?

WebRun reviews the artists on your curated Spotify playlist every Monday, checks each one for tracks released in the last week, and marks upcoming release dates on your Google Calendar. It then sends a WhatsApp digest of what's new, so your venue's playlist stays current without anyone manually checking release schedules.

  • The venue playlist reflects new releases within a week of launch
  • Release dates land on the shared calendar automatically
  • No one has to manually check a dozen artist pages each week

Questions, answered

Will it add tracks to the playlist automatically?

No. WebRun only reports what's new. Adding a track to your live playlist is a judgment call it leaves to the playlist owner.

Does it cover every artist on Spotify?

It checks the artists already on your curated playlist, so the digest stays focused on the acts your venue actually plays.

What if an artist releases nothing that week?

Then they're simply left off that week's digest. Nothing is invented or padded to fill the list.

Put this on autopilot.
