  • What is the Watch Task? checkbox?

    • The Watch Task option allows your checkout task (e.g., Normal mode) to work together with a Monitor mode task. Here's how it works:

      • If you check this box, your checkout task will not monitor for restocks directly. Instead, it will wait for a Monitor mode task (with the same SKU) to detect a restock

        • Once the Monitor task detects the restock, it will "ping" the checkout (with the same SKU) task to run. The checkout task will then add the item to your cart and proceed to checkout

      When using the Watch Task option:

      1. Start your checkout task. It will display the message: "Waiting for Monitor Ping." This means it's ready and set up correctly

      2. When the Monitor task detects a restock, it will automatically trigger the checkout task (with the same SKU) to run

      If you leave the Watch Task checkbox unchecked, the checkout task will act independently. It will monitor the SKU itself, add the item to your cart, and checkout directly
