Scan local grocery mailers and send the best matches
Dot checks updated mailers on a weekly schedule and emails deals that fit a person’s food preferences.
- What they did
- The user set Dot to run every Tuesday at midnight, which lined up with the time local store mailers refresh. Each week, it looks through those mailers, picks offers that match the person’s likes and avoids foods they do not want, then sends an email with the best finds.
- How it went
- The setup reliably produces a weekly curated deal email. No savings amount, failure case, or manual-review details were provided.
- Tips
- Timing matters here: the run was scheduled for Tuesday midnight specifically because that is when the mailers update. For a setup like this, ask for a preview of the email format before the first scheduled send.
