Reminders and watches
Reminders nudge you at a set time. Watches check a page or feed and tell you when something changes.
Reminders
- “Remind me in 20 minutes to check the invoice batch.”
- “Every weekday at 8:30, remind me to post the production standup notes.”
Watches
- “Watch this product page every 15 minutes and tell me if it says sold out.”
- “Check this status page every hour and tell me when the incident is marked resolved.”
A watch can look for exact text, a pattern, or answer a question you give it, such as “Has the price dropped below $500?”
Watches that take action
Add an instruction to make Proto act when the watch matches, for example: “Watch the carrier portal every hour. When the September invoices appear, download them and add them to the reconciliation workbook.”
Tip: Be specific about what counts as a change, such as an exact phrase or a price threshold.
