I am using a mac, trying to detect when a product is in-stock, and then using a macro to automate the full checkout process. But I am having trouble stringing together all the steps across multiple URLs.
When the product comes in stock, the URL does not change.
Once the “Order” button comes live, you need to click on it to put the item in the cart. ** HOWEVER, the problem is that putting it in the cart does not reserve the item. The item is not yours until you have completed the whole checkout process.
Here is the flow:
Once the order button becomes live, you need to click on that button to put the item into the cart.
Then you need to scroll to the top of the page and click on the cart icon.
This takes you to a new page (the “Cart”), which requires a click on the payment type.
This then takes you to another page (for final “Payment”) which requires a final click for “Purchase.”
Can Distill do this whole series of clicks, across the multiple pages? Can you please help me design this flow?
All in the same tab – nothing pops open. The URL changes twice when going from the first screen to the cart, and then from the cart to final purchase screen.
it could work. can you try recording a macro that can follow the steps mentioned above? you can use a product that is currently in stock to record the macro.
Is there another way? Unfortunately, there is no product that is in stock. There are several products listed on the initial page, and all of them will suddenly come live for a couple of second (changing from Sold Out to “Order Now”), and then disappear because everything sells out so quickly.
unfortunately it is not possible to create a macro without looking at what the steps are going to look like. steps in the macro need the elements’ identifiers to interact with them. it could potentially be possible in the future with the help with an ai.
you can monitor other products so that if they come back in stock, you can use them to record the macro.
for now, i will suggest having a good notification system so that you can buy the product as soon as a notification is triggered.
if there is any progress on the ai front, we will post an update.
