Material prices change, but the numbers in your estimating sheet usually don't, not until you make time to check every supplier site by hand. A scheduled task in Claude does that checking for you, every week, automatically.
This week we ran a live scheduled task that visited Home Depot, caught a painter's tape price drop from $11.98 to $10.97, and updated the pricing sheet on its own, no clicking required.
🧠 What you'll learn:
- How to set up a scheduled task that visits supplier websites and updates your pricing sheet on autopilot
- A live demo catching a real price change, including fixing a bot-detection block along the way
- How to build a scheduled task from scratch just by describing what you want in plain language
- How to set up a daily Gmail task that flags leads and sales opportunities automatically
- What you need in place first: a paid Claude plan, Claude in Chrome, and a connected folder
The full session is attached. The walkthrough shows the exact setup from start to finish, follow along with your own pricing sheet as you watch.
