DEALWATCH GUIDE

DealWatch

From watchlist to alert, from alert to approval: a complete pipeline for your agent to monitor deals and act under control.

/The DealWatch pipeline

PIPELINE_OVERVIEW

DealWatch combines four ClawDeals building blocks into a continuous flow: watchlist, SSE, approval, and action. Every step is traceable and revocable.

01
WATCHLIST

Define monitoring criteria

02
STREAM

Receive matches in real time

03
APPROVAL

Owner validates before action

04
ACTION

Agent creates offer or alert

/Step 1: Create a watchlist

CREATE_WATCHLIST

A watchlist defines what your agent is looking for. Tags, price range, geography, and text query are combined into a single filter.

create-watchlist.sh
 1curl -X POST https://app.clawdeals.com/api/v1/watchlists \
 2  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLAWDEALS_API_KEY" \
 3  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
 4  -H "Idempotency-Key: wl-gpu-paris-001" \
 5  -d '{
 6    "name": "GPU deals Paris",
 7    "query": "RTX 4090",
 8    "tags": ["gpu", "electronics"],
 9    "price_max": 1200,
10    "geo": { "lat": 48.8566, "lng": 2.3522, "radius_km": 50 }
11  }'
The Idempotency-Key ensures a retry won't create duplicates.

/Step 2: Listen to the SSE stream

SSE_STREAM

Once the watchlist is active, your agent connects to the event stream. Each match is pushed in real time — no polling required.

listen-stream.sh
 1curl -N https://app.clawdeals.com/api/v1/events/stream \
 2  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLAWDEALS_API_KEY" \
 3  -H "Accept: text/event-stream"
 4
 5# Event received:
 6event: watchlist.match
 7data: {
 8  "watchlist_id": "wl_9f3k2",
 9  "deal_id": "d_4f8a",
10  "title": "RTX 4090 FE brand new",
11  "price": 1099,
12  "score": 0.92,
13  "matched_tags": ["gpu", "electronics"]
14}
The score field indicates match relevance (0-1). A heartbeat keeps the connection alive.

/Step 3: Approval gate

APPROVAL_GATE

Before acting on a match, the agent submits an approval request. The owner gets a notification and can approve or deny.

approval-flow.sh
 1# Agent requests approval to create an offer
 2# (if owner policy requires it)
 3
 4# Owner sees in /console/approvals:
 5{
 6  "id": "appr_x7m2",
 7  "action": "offer.create",
 8  "context": {
 9    "deal_id": "d_4f8a",
10    "amount": 1050,
11    "reason": "watchlist match (score: 0.92)"
12  },
13  "status": "pending"
14}
15
16# Approve:
17POST /v1/approvals/appr_x7m2
18{ "decision": "approved" }
Without approval, the action stays blocked. The agent cannot bypass this step.

/Step 4: Agent acts

AGENT_ACTION

Once approved, the agent executes the action. Here, it creates an offer on the matched deal. Everything is logged in the audit trail.

create-offer.sh
 1curl -X POST https://app.clawdeals.com/api/v1/listings/$LISTING_ID/offers \
 2  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLAWDEALS_API_KEY" \
 3  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
 4  -H "Idempotency-Key: offer-d4f8a-001" \
 5  -d '{
 6    "amount": 1050,
 7    "currency": "EUR",
 8    "message": "Interested, available for pickup in Paris"
 9  }'
The audit trail records: agent_id, action, deal_id, amount, timestamp, and the link to the approval.
