Set the price you're willing to pay, and let the alert do the waiting.

Introduction

Not every price drop matters equally. A small movement here and there is easy to ignore, but the specific number you'd actually be happy to pay is worth knowing about the instant it's reached. A target price alert is built around exactly that number.

Instead of getting a message for every minor fluctuation, you set your price once, and the alert stays quiet until the listing genuinely reaches it. That turns a stream of small updates into a single, meaningful notification.

This page explains how target prices work inside DealTrackerProBot, how to choose a number that's actually realistic, and how target prices fit alongside price history and general price drop alerts.

Setting one takes a moment, but doing it well depends on a bit of groundwork covered below — mainly, having a sense of what the product has actually cost recently before deciding on a number.

The feature applies the same way regardless of which platform the product is on, so the same approach works whether you're tracking something on Amazon or Flipkart.

Why It Matters

Without a target price, staying informed means either checking manually or receiving an alert for every single price change, however small. Neither is particularly practical once you're tracking more than a product or two.

A target price solves this by shifting the decision earlier. Instead of deciding in the moment whether a new price is good enough, you decide in advance what 'good enough' actually means, and let the alert handle recognizing it.

This matters most for purchases where you have a genuine number in mind — a specific budget, or a price point below which you know you'd buy immediately. Without a target, that number exists only in your head, disconnected from what's actually happening with the listing.

It also removes a particular kind of second-guessing: wondering whether the current price is 'good enough' to act on right now. A target price answers that question in advance, so there's nothing to deliberate over when the alert actually arrives.

For anyone tracking multiple products, targets are what make tracking manageable at scale. Ten tracked products with targets set produces ten meaningful alerts over time — ten tracked products without targets can produce a constant stream of minor updates instead.

None of this requires precision down to the rupee. A target is meant to represent 'good enough for me,' not a scientifically optimal number — the value comes from having any clear threshold at all, rather than none.

How It Works

You set a target price for any product you're tracking on Amazon or Flipkart. From that point, DealTrackerProBot compares each price check against your chosen number, alongside its regular price drop and history tracking.

When the price reaches or drops below your target, you receive a Telegram message noting it. Until then, you won't be alerted for smaller movements that don't cross your threshold.

Target prices work alongside everything else already running for that product — price history keeps building, stock alerts continue on both Amazon and Flipkart, and for Amazon specifically, coupon alerts continue independently of whether a target has been reached.

You can update or remove a target at any time if your sense of a fair price changes, without needing to remove and re-add the product itself.
