# Browser Automation & Monitoring
HARPA features an automation engine, capable of running, inspecting and acting upon the web pages in background.
To access the web monitoring, switch to AUTOMATE tab in HARPA AI interface.
Then pick what you would like to monitor, e.g. a price, page content, line of text, a data element or simply ask it to refresh the page periodically e.g. if you are monitoring a KPI dashboard.
HARPA AI will refresh the web page periodically in the background and will notify you whenever the page, price or the data you monitor changes. The monitoring feature is used in a wide range of applications, including:
- Buying when price drops. Create web monitors that periodically extract prices from any e-commerce platform, such as Walmart, Amazon and H&M, and notify you when prices drop, saving you money on online purchases.
- Snatching the best deals. Monitor web pages for specific text to appear (e.g. Discount) or disappear (e.g. Out of Stock) to be the first snatching the best offers, buying products or claiming appointments.
- Report Website Downtime. Set up a HARPA monitor to check if a website or blog is down or has been defaced.
- Auto-refresh Pages. Periodically auto-refresh web pages, track appointment slots availability, jobs and vacancies, articles and legislations, changes in competitors’ pricing pages, competitor product rollouts, hotels, and airline tickets.
