Automatic Availability Notifications

Get notified when your requested content becomes available.

Webhooks (Recommended)

For instant notifications, set up webhook integration. See references/WEBHOOK_SETUP.md for the complete guide.

Quick setup:

scripts/install_service.sh  # Run with sudo

Then configure Jellyseerr to send webhooks to http://YOUR_IP:8384/

Polling (Alternative)

For environments where webhooks aren't available, use cron-based polling:

crontab -l > /tmp/cron_backup.txt
echo "* * * * * $(pwd)/scripts/auto_monitor.sh" >> /tmp/cron_backup.txt
crontab /tmp/cron_backup.txt

Check pending requests:

scripts/track_requests.py
