Automated Trakt Premiere Calendar Sync

Every morning, WebRun opens Trakt, checks the calendar for upcoming premiere and episode dates on shows and movies your team is tracking, adds each one to Google Calendar, and posts an alert to Microsoft Teams when something is premiering this week.

In short

How do I track upcoming premiere dates from my Trakt watchlist?

WebRun checks Trakt every morning for upcoming premiere and episode dates on the shows and movies your team tracks, adds each one to Google Calendar with a day's notice, and alerts Microsoft Teams when something is premiering this week. It never adds titles to the watchlist itself, leaving that choice to you.

  • No tracked premiere sneaks up unplanned
  • The whole team sees this week's premieres in Teams
  • Date changes get picked up automatically, not missed

Questions, answered

Does WebRun add shows to my Trakt watchlist?

No. It only reads what's already being tracked. Adding or removing shows and movies from the watchlist is up to you.

What happens if a premiere date changes?

The next morning's check picks up the new date and updates the calendar event, so a delay doesn't leave a stale reminder in place.

Does this cover movies as well as TV shows?

Yes. It checks Trakt's calendar for both movie releases and TV episodes on your watchlist, not just one or the other.

Put this on autopilot.
