1️⃣Item conditions
Item conditions apply on a single piece of data. For instance, you could set a condition to alert you if a product's price drops below $50. This is about looking for changes in one specific value. Monitoro offers several conditions you can use to filter changes down to the updates that matter to you. Let's look at item conditions.
