Prices, banners and promo pages will change a lot between now and Cyber Monday, November 30. Nobody emails you about most of those changes. OR:ON can watch the pages and tell you.
Go to orion.hexowatch.com and sign in with your Hexact account. Add a page address, write one sentence about what you want to know, and pick where alerts go: Slack, Teams, Discord, Telegram, email or a webhook. Tag every watch blackfriday so you can ask about them as a group later. Or skip the clicking. If your AI tool is connected to OR:ON, paste the page addresses and what you want to know about each. It creates the watches, tags them and sets the alerts.
1. You’re buying something
Add the product page of the TV, laptop or gift you plan to buy, and write: “Tell me when the price changes.”
Say the TV costs $399 today. On Black Friday the page says “Was $549, now $399.” Open your record before the sale page. If $549 never shows up, the store didn’t charge it while you watched. If the sale price is lower than anything in your record, the discount is real, at least against the weeks you tracked. Every day you watch before the 27th adds one more price to the record.
2. You sell online: your competitors
Add these for each competitor:
Homepage: “Tell me when a sale banner, discount or promo code appears or changes.”
Top product pages: “Tell me when the price changes.”
Deals page, if they have one: “Tell me when new products or discounts are added.”
Sitemap, usually /sitemap.xml: add it as a Sitemap Watch. You get the list of new URLs the day their Black Friday page is created.
Decide your response before their sale starts: match the price, add a bundle, or leave it. Then you act on the alert instead of calling a meeting.
3. You sell online: your own store
Before a sale you change banners, prices, themes and apps. Any of those can break a page, and customers won’t tell you. They just leave.
Add your homepage, your top product pages and your sale landing page. Give each the same sentence: “Tell me when the page looks wrong or broken.” That covers a missing Add to cart button, a wrong price or a layout that fell apart.
This is the one setup where checking once a day is not enough. A page that breaks on Black Friday morning should reach you immediately, not a day later.
4. You run a deals site or newsletter
Add the sitemap of each retailer you cover. Every alert lists the new URLs. Open the ones with “deal,” “sale” or “black-friday” in the address. Add each retailer’s deals page as a regular watch with: “Tell me when new deals are added.”
Publish your roundup the day a retailer’s deal page appears.
Ask your AI to run the week
If your AI tool is connected to OR:ON, ask each morning:
“List every change on my blackfriday watches since yesterday. Group by site and show before and after for anything about price or discounts.”
After Cyber Monday, ask it to pause every watch tagged blackfriday. Not connected yet? Here is how to connect it.
Start with the one page you expect to open most often this week, and add it at orion.hexowatch.com.
