How it works
Everything the template sets up, and what to fill in before the first run.
Point this at the fare-search endpoint your travel data provider gives you, describe one itinerary, and name the price you would actually book at. Once a day it asks that endpoint what the route costs and picks the cheapest offer that comes back.
It emails you on the change, not on the state. The first day the cheapest fare sits at or below your target you get one email; while it stays there you get nothing further; when it climbs back above your target you get a single note saying the window has closed and the watch is armed again. It knows which of those it has already told you because it searches your own mailbox for the newest alert about this route before sending anything, so there is no separate log to keep.
Your endpoint has to answer with a JSON object holding a list called 'offers', where each offer carries its price as a number in 'price'. An offer may also carry 'airline' and 'link', which are added to the email when they are there. An offer with no usable price is skipped and counted in the run history rather than stopping the check.
To set it up, fill in 'fareApiUrl' and 'fareApiToken' with the endpoint and the key your provider issued, 'originAirport' and 'destinationAirport' with the two airport codes, 'departureDate' with the day you want to fly, 'targetPrice' with the most you would pay, and 'alertEmailAddress' with where the alerts should go. Leave 'returnDate' empty for a one-way, and change 'currencyCode' if your provider does not quote in dollars. Once the departure date has passed the workflow stops checking on its own.
