# How to get a price drop alert for any product, from any shop

> Set a price alert on any shop, not just Amazon. Tell Tamo the product and your price, and it messages you in Telegram when the price falls below it.

You've found the thing you want, but not at the price you want to pay. So you keep a tab open, check it every few days, and miss the one weekend it went on sale.

The short version: send Tamo the product, the shop and your price, like "let me know when a brand new Shokz OpenMove on Amazon drops below 6000 TL". It checks the page on a schedule and sends you a Telegram message when the price goes under your number. Until then, you hear nothing.

Here's how that went for one pair of running headphones in Turkey, from "what are those called again?" to a working price alert.

## Start with what you want, not the exact name

It doesn't need to be precise. Bone conduction headphones sit on your cheekbones instead of in your ears, so you still hear traffic on a run. The brand name is the part people forget:

```chat
me 13:44: I want wireless headphones for my runs, the ones that use bone conduction. I think they're sold in Turkey as "shocks" or something
tamo 13:45: Here are the bone conduction headphones on Shokz's official Turkey site, good for running:
Shokz OpenRun Pro 2: from 15.499 TL
Shokz OpenRun Pro: 15.999 TL
Shokz OpenMove: 8.499 TL, the budget-friendly one
Shokz OpenSwim Pro: 24.999 TL, made mainly for swimming
```

The prices came from Shokz's own Turkish site, so the list matches what's actually sold there.

## Compare shops, then look closer

The OpenMove was the one to get. Next question: who sells it for less?

```chat
me 13:45: I want to spend less, so OpenMove. Find the cheapest site in Turkey
tamo 13:50: Cheapest listing: kulaklik.com. Others: HiFiLife 6.699 TL, Trendyol 6.999 TL
me 13:51: Give me the direct link to the product
tamo 13:52: Here's the link: kulaklik.com/products/shokz-open-move-mavi
Heads up: this listing is for a box-damaged / display unit at 5.199 TL, and it's currently out of stock ("Stok mevcut değil"). If you want a brand-new sealed one, the cheapest I found was around 6.699 TL on HiFiLife.
```

That last message is the useful one. The cheapest result was a display unit with a damaged box, and you couldn't buy it anyway. Tamo only noticed because it opened the listing and read it, not just the price next to it.

## Ask for the alert

A sealed, brand-new OpenMove was still above 6.000 TL everywhere. So instead of checking again tomorrow, hand the waiting to Tamo. You can watch whichever shop you'd rather buy from; this one went on Amazon:

```chat
me 15:24: Let me know when a brand new Shokz OpenMove on Amazon drops below 6000 TL
tamo 15:29: 👀 Checking amazon.com.tr every hour: Shokz OpenMove brand new on Amazon.com.tr dropping below 6000 TL
buttons: Stop
tamo 15:29: I've set up a price watch on Amazon.com.tr for the Shokz OpenMove. Right now it's at 9.358,83 TL, still above your 6.000 TL target. I'll let you know as soon as it drops below that.
```

The 👀 message is the watch itself: which site, how often, and what it's waiting for. Its Stop button ends it whenever you like, and `/tasks` lists everything Tamo is keeping an eye on for you, with buttons to pause or delete each one.

If Tamo found the shop itself, rather than you naming it, it asks before checking a new site:

```chat
tamo: To keep an eye on this for you, I'll check amazon.com.tr regularly. Allow? I'll remember amazon.com.tr for next time.
buttons: Yes, do it | No
```

## What happens after that

Tamo writes a small check for that one page and runs it once while you're still in the chat. That test run is where "right now it's at 9.358,83 TL" comes from: if the check can't read the price, you find out now, not a week later. After that, the check runs on its own on the schedule, without the AI. Shop pages are checked at most once an hour; for simpler pages you can ask for anything from every 15 minutes to once a day.

You don't get an hourly "still 9.358 TL". When the price goes under 6.000 TL, a message arrives starting with 🔔 and the shop's address. If that happens in the middle of the night, it waits until the morning. The watch keeps going after that, so stop it once you've bought.

Shops redesign their pages, and a check that read the price yesterday can break today. When a check fails a few times in a row, Tamo tries to fix it. If it can't, it pauses the watch and tells you, with buttons to keep trying or stop.

## Why not a price tracker extension?

If you only shop on Amazon, trackers like Keepa or CamelCamelCamel do this well, and they show price history too. The trouble is that the best price is often somewhere else: here, HiFiLife and Trendyol were both well under Amazon. A watch in Tamo works on any public shop page, in any country, and you set it up by describing what you want instead of filling in a form.

## Tips for an alert that works

- **Say what counts.** "Brand new" in the request above keeps display units, refurbished ones and second-hand listings out of it.
- **Point it at one product page.** Search results mix in cases, cables and other colours, and their prices could set off the alert by mistake, so Tamo won't watch a price on a search page. If it has already found the listing, "watch that page" is the clearest way to ask.
- **Name the shop if you care which one.** Otherwise say so ("any shop in Turkey is fine"), and Tamo will pick the listing to watch.
- **Give a number.** "Below 6000 TL" is something a check can decide on its own. "When it's cheap" isn't.
- **Keep it to public pages.** A page you have to sign in to see, like a members-only price, can't be watched yet.

The same works for concert tickets, a rental listing or something coming back in stock: if you could check it on a public web page yourself, Tamo can check it for you.
