Automated Best Buy Price Drop Alerts
Every morning, WebRun opens each Best Buy product page on your watch list, reads the current price and stock status, compares them with yesterday, posts any drop or restock to your Slack channel, and queues a text through Twilio when an item hits the target price you set.
How do I get alerted when a product drops to my target price?
WebRun checks every Best Buy product on your watch list each morning, reading the current price and stock status and comparing them with the previous run. It posts drops and restocks to Slack and queues a Twilio text to you when an item reaches your target price, so you buy at the number you wanted.
- Price drops are caught the morning they happen, not after the sale ends
- Restocks on hard-to-get items reach you the same day
- Nothing is ever bought without a person deciding to buy it
Built for office managers · IT buyers · resellers · small business purchasing teams

Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Will it buy anything for me?
No, and it cannot be configured to. WebRun never adds to a cart, enters payment details, or places an order. It reads public product pages and tells you what changed. Buying stays yours.
How does it know the price actually dropped?
It records each watched product's price and stock status on every run and compares against the previous one, so the alert shows the old price, the new price, and the exact change.
Can I set a different target per product?
Yes. Each item on the watch list carries its own target price, and the Twilio text is only queued when that specific target is met while the item is in stock.
