Webhook does not trigger when a movie is marked as watched automatically

[Tomer-Isr]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Current Behavior

I set up a Webhook notification. When I manually mark a movie as watched, the Webhook is triggered correctly. But when a movie is marked as watched automatically, nothing happens and no signal is sent. I don’t know how to fix this

Expected Behavior

When a movie is marked as watched automatically, the Webhook should be triggered just like when it is marked manually.

Steps To Reproduce

Use Ambi on Home Assistant (latest version, regularly updated).

Configure a Webhook notification for “movie watched.”

Manually mark a movie as watched → Webhook triggers correctly.

Watch a movie or episode until it is marked as watched automatically → Webhook does not trigger.

Environment

Home Assistant Addon

CPU architecture

x86-64

Docker creation

Installed via Home Assistant add-on (one-click installation).
