Automate Target

Turn the repetitive Target work you do by hand (search a keyword, open a product) into a workflow Writ runs for you, on your own account, on a schedule or on demand.

why

Stop doing Target by hand

The Target tasks you repeat (search a keyword, open a product, read price and stock) are exactly the kind of work a computer should do. But Target has no general public API, and the flow runs behind a login and dynamic pages. Target has no general public API for storefront search, price, or store-level availability data.

Writ closes that gap. Record the Target task once (or describe it to an AI session) and Writ runs it for you in a real browser, on your own account. Writ runs on your own accounts, with your own credentials and data, on sites you are authorized to use.

Target tasks Writ can run for you

Each of these is a real Target action, captured into a workflow and run on your own account.

{ }search a keyword
{ }open a product
{ }read price and stock
{ }check store availability
{ }track an order

Workflows extract structured fields such as product price, online stock, store availability, circle offer along the way: typed data you can route anywhere.

Three ways to build your Target automation

Pick whichever fits the task. All three produce the same workflow Writ can run for you.

✦Record itDo the Target task once in a real browser (search a keyword, then open a product) and the recorder captures every step into a reusable workflow.
✦Describe it to AITell an AI session your goal on Target in plain language; it drives the live page and builds the workflow for you, no recording needed.
✦Discover itLet API discovery watch Target's own network calls as you browse, then turn the underlying requests into a fast, headless workflow.

Built on the same engine as the recorder and workflows, with 30+ step types.

Login, 2FA, and dynamic pages on Target

The reason Target is tedious to automate is the same reason most tools can't. Writ handles it.

Target product and price pages are public; Writ renders them in real Chromium to capture per-store availability, and can sign into your account for cart actions.

Run the Target automation on your terms

On a schedule, on demand, or the instant something changes. You choose the trigger.

✦On a scheduleRun the Target task every hour, every morning, or any cadence. No one has to remember to do it.
✦On demandTrigger a single run from the dashboard, a webhook, your code, or an AI agent, whenever you need it.
✦On a changeWatch Target for price drop or restock and fire the automation the instant it happens.
  1. 1
    Build the Target workflow once

    Record the task, describe it to AI, or discover it from the network. Writ captures each step, including login and 2FA, into a workflow you can edit.

  2. 2
    Run it on your terms

    Run it on demand, on a schedule, or fire it from a Monitor when Target changes. It runs on your own Target account, in a real browser.

  3. 3
    Call it from anything

    The same workflow is a REST endpoint at /v1/target/run and an MCP tool, so your code, a no-code tool, or an AI agent can trigger the Target automation too.

Trigger the Target automation on a change

Monitor Target for price drop, restock, store availability and run your workflow the moment it happens.

Monitors check as fast as every 10s (10s on Enterprise). A detected change becomes a trigger that runs your Target automation in seconds. Monitor Target ▸

Local / BYO agent

No compute charge. The agent runs on your hardware, so it can reach Target even from an intranet or VPN-only network, and your AI keys never leave your machine.

The same Target automation is an API and an MCP tool

Automating Target for yourself and calling it from software are the same workflow. Once you have it, publish it as a REST endpoint at/v1/target/run and a matching MCP tool, so your code or an AI agent can trigger the Target task too.

Automating Target: questions

How do I automate Target?
Record the Target task once in the recorder (search a keyword, open a product, read price and stock) or describe your goal to an AI session. Writ turns it into a workflow it can run for you on a schedule or on demand, on your own Target account. It usually takes minutes, not a backend project.
Is it allowed to automate Target this way?
Use Writ on your own Target account and on public listings you have the right to access. Respect Target's Terms and purchase limits. Writ runs on your own accounts, with your own credentials and data, on sites you are authorized to use.
Does Target automation work behind login and 2FA?
Target product and price pages are public; Writ renders them in real Chromium to capture per-store availability, and can sign into your account for cart actions. Writ handles TOTP and mailbox-OTP two-factor through Personas, so the automation runs inside your own authenticated Target session.
Can I run the Target automation without writing code?
Yes. Recording and AI sessions need no code at all. If you do want to trigger it from software, the same workflow is a REST endpoint and an MCP tool, but that is optional.
Where does it run, and what does it cost?
Run it on your own machine with a local or BYO agent for no compute charge, useful when Target is only reachable from your network or VPN. Or run it on metered cloud at $0.12 per browser-hour, drawn from your plan’s included usage. Start free.
