How DealTrackerProBot works

From pasting a link to getting an alert: what the bot does, what each alert means and where the limits are.

What the bot does

DealTrackerProBot is a Telegram bot. You give it a product link from a supported Amazon marketplace or from Flipkart, it remembers the price, and it checks that product again automatically. When something you asked about changes, it sends a message in your Telegram chat.

Nothing is installed and there is no website login. Everything, including the list of products you track, lives in your conversation with the bot. This page explains what happens at each stage, what each kind of alert means and where the limits are.

Adding a product, step by step

  1. 1. Find the product and copy its link

    Open the product page on a supported store. On a computer, copy the address from the browser bar. In a shopping app, use the share option and copy the link. A full product URL works best; links to search results or category pages are not products and cannot be tracked.

  2. 2. Send the link to the bot

    Open DealTrackerProBot on Telegram, press Start (or send /start) and paste the link as a normal message. The bot reads the link, identifies the product and adds it to your list. This is the only step needed to begin tracking.

  3. 3. Optionally set a target price

    By default you are told about price drops. If you already know what you would pay, send /list to see your product numbers, then /target followed by the number and your price, for example /target 2 1999. You will then hear about that product when its price reaches or falls below the target. Send /target 2 off to go back to normal drop alerts.

  4. 4. The bot checks the product in the background

    The bot records the price it sees and checks the product again automatically. You do not refresh anything. No exact check interval is published, and a change can only be reported after a check notices it, so a price that rises and falls again between two checks may never be seen.

  5. 5. You get a Telegram message when it matters

    Alerts arrive as normal messages in the bot's chat. Open the message, confirm the price and seller on the store itself, and decide whether to buy. The bot never buys anything for you.

Every command is listed with examples on the Telegram Commands page.

The four kinds of alert

Alert types, when they are sent and where they apply
AlertSent whenWhere
Price dropA tracked product's price falls. Without a target price, any drop can trigger an alert.Amazon marketplaces and Flipkart
Target price reachedThe price reaches or falls below the number you set. Set it in the same currency the store uses.Amazon marketplaces and Flipkart
Coupon detectedA coupon is detected on a tracked product. Not every product has a coupon. Flipkart coupon detection is not available.Amazon marketplaces only
Back in stockA tracked product that was unavailable becomes available again. Availability handling can vary by marketplace and product; a return is never guaranteed.Amazon marketplaces and Flipkart

A worked example

These numbers are made up to show the flow. They are not a real product or a real price.

  1. You like a pair of headphones listed at ₹3,499 and would buy at ₹2,800. You send the link to the bot; it records ₹3,499.
  2. You send /list. The headphones are number 1, so you send /target 1 2800.
  3. Two weeks later the price is ₹3,199. Because you set a target, you are not alerted: it is still above ₹2,800.
  4. During a sale the price falls to ₹2,749. The bot sends an alert because the price is below your target.
  5. You open the store, confirm the seller and the final price at checkout, and decide. If you look at /price_history 1 first, you can see the ₹3,499 and ₹3,199 prices that came before.

Price history: what it is and is not

From the moment you add a product, the bot keeps the prices it has recorded. Send /price_history followed by the product's number from /list to see them. This is the history the bot recorded since you started tracking, not the store's full price record.

That matters when judging a discount. A product tracked for a week can only show you that week. The longer a product has been on your list, the more useful its history is for telling a real low from a price that is merely advertised as a deal.

Supported marketplaces

Prices are tracked in each marketplace's own currency, so set target prices in that currency.

Free tracking, Premium and the product limit

Free users can have up to 10 active products at the same time. Premium removes that limit. Nothing else changes: price-drop alerts, target prices, coupon detection, stock alerts and price history work the same on both.

If you reach the free limit, you can remove products you no longer want with /remove followed by the product number (this cannot be undone), or upgrade. Premium is bought inside Telegram with Telegram Stars; the website does not take payments.

See Pricing, Premium and the payments FAQ.

What to keep in mind

  • Prices can differ by seller, variation, location and account-specific offers. Always check the final price at checkout.
  • Checks are periodic. A short-lived price may never be seen, and an alert is not a guarantee that a deal is still available.
  • Coupons are Amazon only, and only coupons the bot detects.
  • Each marketplace listing is tracked separately; the same item on two stores is two products.
  • DealTrackerProBot is independent and is not operated by Amazon, Flipkart or Telegram.
