In-Store Monitoring

The Local Stock Monitor allows admins to track nationwide local availability of specific products from major retailers like Target and BestBuy.

---

How It Works

This monitor checks local stock based on ZIP codes across the country, automatically detecting availability near any populated region. It runs continuously, alerting when a product becomes available locally.

Supported Retailers:

• 🛒 Target

• 🛍️ BestBuy

• Additional retailers will be added in the future, as we are currently testing this new feature.

---

Setting It Up

To begin receiving alerts, you must first assign a monitoring channel:

$monitor addchannel targetlocal #channel
$monitor addchannel bestbuylocal #channel

Replace #channel with the channel you want alerts to be sent to.

Then, to start monitoring a product’s local stock nationwide, use:

$monitor local link

This will enable tracking for any local-only drops, such as store pickups or same-day inventory shifts.

Example Usage

Assigning Alert Channels

$monitor addchannel bestbuylocal #bestbuy-alerts
$monitor addchannel targetlocal #target-restocks

Monitoring a Product

$monitor local https://www.bestbuy.com/site/xyz

Once added, the system will begin scanning ZIP codes for store availability of the linked product.

Notes

• We Highly recommend that you'll enable Personal User Pinger so members will be able to whitelist their state/preferred stores, and get pinged specifically on that.

• Local monitors are ideal for store pickup alerts or region-exclusive inventory.

For ZIP-specific manual checks, members can still use store-specific commands like:

$target {zip}
$bestbuy {zip}

Example:

$target 90210
$bestbuy 10001

Let your members know early—local stock sells fast. Be prepared!
