1. Series Tracking: You manually add the anime series you are watching to your Notion Series page.
2. RSS Feed Monitoring: Crunchyroll Syncer continually checks the Crunchyroll RSS feed for new episodes of the series you are tracking.
3. Notion Page Updates: When a new episode is released, the tool updates your Notion Series page. It marks the series with a "new episode" status and provides a direct watch URL. This allows you to immediately access the latest episode with just a click.
4. Resetting Series Status: After watching the new episode, you need to update the series status back to "watched" on your Notion Series page. This action is crucial as it signals Crunchyroll Syncer to resume checking the RSS feed for new episodes of that particular series.

Example for: Notion Page Updates

On this Notion page, you can see a New Episode badge. This badge indicates that a new episode is available, and just below is the URL to the new episode page. By clicking on it, you can easily navigate to the correct Crunchyroll page.

After watching the latest episode, mark the New Episode badge as Watched. This will allow the Syncer to detect a new release by periodically checking for updates. The URL below the badge will be updated to the new episode URL once again when a new release becomes available.

<aside> ℹ️ In Notion creating a trigger to auto clear the current episode url field when you select Watched is possible, but for this you must be subscribed to Notion Plus.

Being behind multiple episodes

The Syncer relies on the Crunchyroll RSS Feed, so if you are multiple episodes behind on a series, the link functionality will not work. Only the URL of the latest episode is available on the RSS feed.
