Track Amazon prices and get alerted when they change

The system checks your tracked Amazon products on a schedule and emails you when prices move enough to matter.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Exactly one path is taken; runs once per each tracked product.

The problem it solves

Watching competitor or supplier prices on Amazon means checking listings over and over by hand, and you can still miss the moment a price drops or spikes. Doing this for more than a couple of products isn't realistic without help.

Who it fits

A deal hunter, reseller, or ecommerce business that needs to stay on top of Amazon pricing.

How it works

  1. On a set schedule, the system checks the prices of your listed Amazon products
  2. It calculates how much each price has changed
  3. New prices and changes are recorded in Google Sheets
  4. If a change crosses your threshold, you receive an email alert
What you get

Price changes you hear about first

You get an email alert whenever a tracked Amazon product's price moves enough to matter, with every check logged in a spreadsheet.

What you get

An up-to-date price history in Google Sheets and email alerts for significant price changes.

What you need

A ScrapeOps API account, a Google account with Google Sheets, and an email account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
