Automated JCPenney Price Drop Tracking
Every Monday, WebRun opens JCPenney, checks the price of every item on your sourcing watchlist, archives a dated price report to Google Drive, and posts the week's best drops to Slack so the buying decision is made from current numbers.
How do I track JCPenney price drops on the products I source?
WebRun checks the price of every item on your JCPenney sourcing watchlist each Monday, archives a dated report to Google Drive so you can see how prices move over time, and posts the week's biggest drops to Slack. Buyers and resellers get a standing price history instead of checking product pages by hand.
- A dated price history builds automatically week over week
- The biggest drops surface in Slack without a manual check
- Buying decisions come from current numbers, not memory
Built for resellers · small retail buyers · deal hunters · procurement teams

Questions, answered
Does it purchase anything for me?
No. WebRun only checks prices and reports what changed. Every order is placed by you on the JCPenney site.
How far back does the price history go?
Every week's report is archived in Drive, so you can look back at how a price has moved over time, not just this week's snapshot.
Can I change what's on the watchlist?
Yes. Add or remove products any time and the next Monday run picks up the updated list.
