Price Tracker
Watches competitor and reference prices for the products you sell so your agent can tell you where you stand and help you stay competitive.
This guide begins with What Price Tracker does, continues through What it can do for you, How to set it up and use it, Nothing to connect, and finishes with Good to know and limitations.
What Price Tracker does
Price Tracker keeps an eye on what other sellers charge for the same products you offer. You point it at competitor or reference pages (for example a rival's product page on a marketplace), and it fetches their price, even on sites that try to block automated visitors, then keeps a running history of those prices over time. Your agent can use that data to answer everyday questions like "who is cheapest right now?" or "did a competitor drop their price this week?".
What it connects to:
- Your Products catalog. Every tracked link is attached to a product you already have in Botonom, identified by its SKU, product id, or name.
- Public competitor or reference web pages. These are the URLs you add. Price Tracker reads only the public price shown on those pages. It cannot see anything behind a login or any private competitor data.
- Your workspace only. Tracked links and price history belong to your company and stay isolated to it.
What it can do for you
In plain terms, here is everything Price Tracker can handle when you ask your agent:
- Add a competitor source to a product. Attach a competitor or reference URL to one of your products, with an optional label like "Trendyol" or "Amazon" so you can tell your sources apart.
- See the sources you track for a product. Get the list of links currently attached to a product, each with its most recent fetched price and status.
- Stop tracking a source. Remove a link you no longer care about so it drops out of future checks.
- Read the price history and trend. Pull the full time series across all sources for a product, so you can spot which source is cheapest or whether prices are drifting up or down.
- Refresh one product now. Re-fetch the price of every source attached to a single product on demand, right when you ask.
- Refresh everything that has gone stale. Update every tracked product that has not been checked within the last set number of hours (24 by default). This is the one to run as a daily morning routine so your numbers stay current.
How to set it up and use it
Getting started takes three quick steps:
- Open the Skill Marketplace in your Botonom dashboard and install Price Tracker.
- Assign it to the agent that should own your pricing, for example your sales or operations agent.
- Make sure the products you want to watch already exist in your Products catalog.
After that, you just talk to your agent in plain language. A few realistic examples:
User: Track this competitor page for our product DEMO-002 and label it Trendyol:
https://www.trendyol.com/...
Agent: Done. I added the Trendyol source to DEMO-002 and I'm now tracking its price.
User: For SKU ABC-100, who is cheapest right now and are we competitive?
Agent: Across the 3 sources I track, the cheapest is Hepsiburada at 1.272,60 TL.
Your catalog price is 1.399 TL, so you're about 9% above the lowest.
User: Every morning, update the prices of anything we haven't checked in the last day.
Agent: I've scheduled a daily task at 08:00 that refreshes every tracked product
older than 24 hours, so your price data stays fresh on its own.
Notice the last example: Price Tracker has no separate scheduler of its own, so the agent sets up the recurring "refresh stale prices" task for you using Botonom's built-in scheduled tasks. You only have to ask once.
Nothing to connect
Price Tracker does not need an API key, a password, or an outside account. Unlike skills that link to a third-party service (for example Google Analytics, Meta Ads, or Business Central), there is nothing to paste and no sign-in step. The engine that fetches prices, including the part that gets past anti-bot protection, runs on Botonom's side.
Once the skill is installed and assigned to an agent, it is ready to use. The only prerequisite is having the products you want to track in your Products catalog.
Good to know and limitations
A few honest notes so you know exactly what to expect:
- Read-only today. Price Tracker watches competitor prices and builds history. It does not change your own prices, does not automatically reprice your products, and never buys or sells anything. Automatic repricing suggestions are a possible future addition, not part of it today.
- Daily, not real-time. Prices are captured once per day per source (a fresh refresh replaces that day's reading). Think of it as a daily trend tool, not a live ticker.
- Public pages only. It reads the public price on the URL you provide. It cannot reach anything behind a login or any private competitor data.
- Who can do what. Adding and removing tracked sources is a manager-level action, while listing sources, reading history, and refreshing prices are available to regular members. Your agent follows these roles.
- Your data stays in your workspace. Tracked links and price history are isolated to your company.
