Watch for a price drop and prepare an order
Watch a product for a target price and, when it drops, sign in on your own account and prepare the order, holding at a confirm-gate for a human to approve.
This template can take an action with consequences.
Safety rails on Action templates lead with guardrails. Before anything happens, every guard below is in force: a dry-run preview, a confirm-gate, a rate limit, an audit log, and idempotency so a retry never double-acts.
- ✓Confirm-gate before any state change
- ✓Price cap
- ✓Dry-run
- ✓Idempotency
