Monitors
Monitors separate stock detection from checkout. One lightweight monitor task checks if a product is available, while watchdog tasks pre-warm their sessions and checkout instantly when the monitor detects stock.
How It Works
- Create a monitor in any task group using the Create Monitor button
- Create regular tasks in the same group with profiles, proxies, and payment settings
- Start the group — the monitor starts polling, the tasks pre-warm their sessions (login, solve protections) and wait
- When the monitor detects stock, all tasks in the group receive the signal and immediately attempt checkout
Creating a Monitor
Click the Create Monitor button (left of Create Tasks) in the task toolbar. The monitor only needs:
- Product URL — the product page to monitor
- Delay — polling interval in milliseconds (default: 3500ms)
- Proxy Group — optional, recommended for high-frequency polling
Monitors don't need a profile, account, or payment method — they only check availability.
Monitor vs. Regular Tasks
| Monitor | Regular Task (Watchdog) | |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Detect stock | Checkout |
| Profile | Not needed | Required |
| Session | Lightweight HTTP | Full session (login, CF-solve) |
| Status | In stock (poll #N) / Out of stock (poll #N) | Waiting for monitor... → checkout |
| Badge | MON | — |
Shared Cloud Monitor
Monitor events are automatically shared across all Energyzed users via a real-time WebSocket connection. When any user's monitor detects stock, every other user monitoring the same product receives the signal instantly.
- Zero configuration — always active
- Privacy — only product URL, store, price, and timestamp are shared. No user data.
- Faster detection — more users monitoring = faster restock catches
Best Practices
- One monitor per product — multiple monitors on the same product waste requests
- Use proxies on the monitor to avoid rate limits during high-frequency polling
- Lower delay on the monitor (e.g. 2000ms) for faster detection; the tasks don't poll, so this doesn't increase traffic per task
- Pre-warm advantage — tasks that need login (MM/S, Coolblue, Baur) benefit most because session setup is done before stock is detected
Supported Stores
Monitors and watchdogs work with all 16 stores: Alza, Baur, Comic Planet, Coolblue, Elbenwald, Euronics, Expert, Games Island, HHV, Hornbach, Lidl, MediaMarkt/Saturn, Mueller, Pagro, Quelle, and Shopify.
Webhook
Set a dedicated Monitor Webhook in Settings → Discord to receive stock alerts in a separate Discord channel. If not set, monitor alerts use the main checkout webhook.
