In short

How do I track price and stock changes on the materials I buy every week?

WebRun checks your Lowe's materials list every morning, recording the current price and store availability of each item and comparing it against yesterday. It drafts a buying update in Gmail for your review and queues a crew text in Twilio whenever a needed item has gone out of stock.

  • Price rises show up before the invoice does
  • Crews hear about an out-of-stock item before they drive to the store
  • Nothing is ordered, emailed, or texted without a person approving it

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it buy anything or place an order?

No. WebRun only looks up prices and store availability on Lowes.com. It never adds an item to a cart, checks out, or charges a card. Every purchase decision stays with your buyer, working from the draft it prepares.

Does it send the email or the text on its own?

No. The Gmail update is saved as an unsent draft and the Twilio crew text is queued for approval. Both wait for a person to release them, so nothing leaves your business unread.

How does it know which store to check?

You set the collection branch once, and every run checks price and availability at that store. Crews working out of two branches can run two copies of the workflow, one per store.

Put this on autopilot.
