Online shopping is a service known for convenience and efficiency. However, it is often frustrating to buy a product only to find out that another site was selling it for less, or that the same site had a sale shortly after. This dilemma is contradictory to the benefits of online shopping mentioned above: there is little efficiency and convenience in having to manually search for the best prices. This proposal aims to minimize this issue in respect to shopping on Amazon. While there are many platforms for commerce, none are as comprehensive and wide-reaching as Amazon is, which gives this app an opportunity to make a greater impact.
The main function of this project is to notify a user when a product's price decreases from when they first inputted it into the program. The program will receive a link to a product along with a phone number, the desired timeframe for reminders to a website, and a baseline discount percentage for the item. The website triggers an Azure Timer Trigger, which sends a text message to the user if the price goes up from the time of start up or if the price decreases to the desired discount value.
