When to use a URL alert
You found the right TV, tool or pharmacy item, but the price isn’t low enough yet. Instead of checking daily, create an alert.
It’s also useful outside Flipp flyers: if the product isn’t in indexed deals, the URL is still your anchor.
How to paste the right link
Open the product page and copy the full HTTPS address from the browser bar. Avoid shortened social-media links.
On Best Buy, links often need the product number at the end. A truncated URL leads to an incomplete preview.
Free vs paid limits
On the free plan you can watch 1 active URL. Plus, Premium and Pro raise that limit (10, 25 or 50) and unlock price history.
An alert ends after it triggers — you can recreate it if you want to keep watching the product.
What an alert doesn’t guarantee
In-store prices can differ (region, stock, tax). Promo Simple flags a drop on the watched page — always verify before buying.
Some sites block automated readers. If preview fails, retry later or pick a supported retailer.
A clean product URL + a realistic target price means less refreshing. Start with one important item, then upgrade if you watch several.
