How do I track when a client is mentioned or featured on BBC iPlayer?
WebRun checks BBC iPlayer's schedule and new additions every morning for programmes relevant to client accounts, logs each one in Airtable with the date and category, and emails the account team a digest before the day starts. Media monitoring teams get a same day record instead of learning about an airing after the fact.
- Account teams learn about a relevant airing the same morning
- Every mention is logged in Airtable with its date and category
- No one has to check the schedule by hand each day

Questions, answered
Does it watch or download any programme content?
No. WebRun only reads the public schedule and catalogue listings. It never streams, downloads, or redistributes programme content.
How does it decide what counts as client-relevant?
It matches programme titles, genres, and descriptions against each client's watchlist, so the digest only surfaces what actually applies.
Can the account team see the full history?
Yes. Every match is logged in Airtable with its date and category, so the team can look back further than the morning email.
