Automated Michaels Price Drop Tracking
Every Monday, WebRun opens Michaels, checks the price of every item on your standing supply sourcing list, logs any drop to Airtable with the old and new price, and updates your Notion sourcing board so buying decisions are made from this week's numbers.
How do I track Michaels price drops on supplies I source regularly?
WebRun checks the price of every item on your Michaels sourcing list every Monday, logs any drop to Airtable with the old and new price, and updates your Notion sourcing board with this week's numbers. Craft businesses and classrooms see a price change the same week it happens instead of relying on memory or a paper list.
- Price drops get caught the week they happen
- A live board replaces a paper sourcing list
- Buy signals surface automatically at the reorder threshold you set
Built for craft small businesses · classroom teachers · event planners · resellers

Questions, answered
Does it place any orders?
No. WebRun only checks prices and logs what changed. Every purchase happens on the Michaels site or in store, done by you.
How do I control what it checks?
Give it your sourcing list once and it rechecks the same items every Monday. Add or remove items whenever your needs change.
What if an item goes back to full price?
It's archived out of the active Airtable log and dropped from the Notion Buy Now section on the next run.
