Run a check & read a recommendation
Get a current read on your prices whenever you need one, instead of waiting on the next scheduled run.
What you get
- A price check across every connected retailer, on demand
- Quality-checked results, not a raw price dump
- A clear next step for every product worth reviewing
Triggering a run
From Overview, select Run now to check current prices across every retailer you've connected under Settings → Retailers, for every product in your catalog. Each run consumes research units, which count against your plan's cap — see Billing & credits basics for how that's measured. If you'd rather not trigger runs manually every time, a schedule can run checks for you automatically.
What happens during a run
Behind the scenes, each product/retailer pair is researched and the results are quality-checked before they're finalized. This is why a run isn't instant — it's doing real comparison work, not refreshing a cached price.
Reading the result
When a run completes, two things can appear:
- Recommendations in the Action Center — a suggested action, with the reasoning behind it and a confidence chip (high, medium, or low), for products where the price picture is worth reviewing.
- Alerts on the Alerts page — a notice that something changed, tagged with a severity.
Tips
A run that finds nothing noteworthy is a normal, healthy outcome — it means your prices are currently in line with what you've configured. If you're new to a workspace and want to see the full flow before connecting real data, load the sample dataset from Settings first; it ships with a run already completed so you can explore recommendations and alerts immediately.
