How Overseerr Works #

The workflow is fully automated:

1. A user browses Overseerr’s catalog and clicks Request on a movie or show
2. Overseerr sends the request to Sonarr (TV) or Radarr (movies)
3. Sonarr/Radarr searches your indexers via Prowlarr
4. The torrent downloads via ruTorrent or Deluge
5. The file is organized and appears in Plex automatically
