Automation
Watch a price
Check a page on a schedule and speak up when the price moves.
What it asks you for
- Checksrequired
- How often to look.
- Pagerequired
- The product page to watch.
- Tell me whenrequired
- What change is worth an alert.
What it tells the AI to do
Set up a price watch.
- Page: {{ url }}
- Alert when: {{ trigger }}
- Checks: {{ schedule.human }} ({{ schedule.timezone }}), cron `{{ schedule.cron }}`
Create it with `automation create`, passing the cron and timezone verbatim.
Read the page once now and confirm you can actually find the price, out loud,
before scheduling anything. Half of these fail because the number is rendered
by a script and the check has been reading a placeholder for a month.
Alert on a CHANGE of state, once per change. While the condition stays true,
stay quiet. Include the old value, the new value, and the link.
Say how it fails: after how many unreachable checks in a row it should tell the
user the watch itself is broken rather than that the price never moved.- automation
