Automated Expedia Booking Price Drop Alerts

Every morning, WebRun opens Expedia, checks each booked trip against the current listed price, notes any drop worth acting on directly against the trip event in Google Calendar, and alerts the travel desk in Microsoft Teams so a refundable booking gets rebooked before the saving disappears.

In short

How do I know if an Expedia booking's price has dropped since I booked it?

WebRun checks Expedia every morning for each booked trip's current price, notes any drop against the trip event in Google Calendar, and alerts the travel desk in Microsoft Teams. Travel coordinators catch a refundable booking's price drop the same day it happens, while the rebooking window is still open.

  • Price drops surface the same morning they happen
  • Refundable bookings get flagged before the rebooking window closes
  • The trip calendar keeps a record of every price change

Questions, answered

Will it cancel and rebook automatically to get the lower price?

No. WebRun only reports the price gap. Cancelling and rebooking is always a decision the travel desk makes, since cancellation terms vary by fare.

How is the price compared?

It checks the current listed price for the same dates, room or fare type, and location as the original booking, so the comparison stays apples to apples.

Does it check every booking or just refundable ones?

It checks every upcoming booking, but flags whether each one is free to cancel so the travel desk knows which drops are actually worth acting on.
