Automation Guide
For Superbuy Spreadsheet

Every automation rule has two parts: a trigger and an action. The trigger is the event that starts the rule. The action is what happens when the trigger fires.

For example, a price drop alert has the trigger \"Price drops below $50\" and the action \"Send email notification.\" A stock alert has the trigger \"Item comes back in stock\" and the action \"Send SMS and email.\"

The system supports multiple triggers per rule and multiple actions per trigger. You can create complex logic like: \"If price drops below $50 AND QC score is above 80, send email AND add to priority list.\"

The most popular automation is the price drop alert. Instead of checking prices manually every day, you set a target price and wait. When the item hits your target, you get an instant notification.

Advanced users can set percentage-based alerts. Instead of a fixed target like $50, you set a threshold like \"15% below the 30-day average.\" This is more flexible because it adapts to market conditions.

To set up a price drop alert, go to any item page, click Create Alert, select Price Drop, enter your target, and choose your notification method. The rule activates immediately.

Popular items sell out quickly. A restock alert notifies you the moment an out-of-stock item becomes available again. This is essential for limited drops and high-demand products.

Set up a restock alert by viewing an out-of-stock item and clicking Notify When Available. The system checks stock levels every 15 minutes and sends you an email or SMS within minutes of a restock.

For users who want a summary view instead of instant alerts, scheduled reports are the answer. You can set up daily, weekly, or monthly digests that summarize price changes, new listings, and market trends.

The report format is customizable. Choose which categories to include, which metrics to highlight, and how much detail you want. Reports can be sent as plain text emails, PDF attachments, or downloadable CSV files.

Premium users can connect the Superbuy Spreadsheet to external tools. The API supports webhooks, REST endpoints, and scheduled exports.

Common integrations include Google Sheets for offline analysis, Zapier for connecting to 5,000+ apps, and Shopify for automatic inventory syncing. Setup requires a premium API key, which is available from your account settings.
