Post-Booking Price Monitoring
Scheduled price watches that run twice daily. Alerts when rebooking saves money.
The Scenario
“Yes, set up a price alert for the NYC to DC train on April 7.”
After you book, the plugin creates a scheduled task that monitors prices at regular intervals. It checks both your booked option and alternatives. If prices drop significantly, you get an alert with the full calculation: original price, new price, rebooking fees, and net saving.
The monitoring runs automatically. On desktop, it checks when your computer is running. On Dispatch, it runs on the server so you get alerts even when your phone is locked. You can trigger a manual check anytime by clicking 'Run now' on the scheduled task.
What It Looks Like
Say 'set up a price alert' and the plugin creates a scheduled watch immediately.
The scheduled task checks twice daily. Alerts at 10% drops, urgent alerts at 25%+ drops.
How It Works
Tell the plugin what you booked and what you paid. It records the baseline price and sets up monitoring.
A scheduled task runs at your chosen intervals — typically 8am and 6pm. It checks the current price for your exact route and dates.
If the price drops more than 10%, you get an alert with the calculation. If it drops more than 25%, you get an urgent alert.
The alert includes the full rebooking maths: new price, any change fees, net saving, and a recommendation on whether it is worth the effort.
