• amc_deals_checker.ts - Main automation script (cron trigger) - Set to run at 2:35 PM daily
• test_amc_deals.ts - Test endpoint for manual testing (HTTP trigger)

The automation is already configured to:

• Run daily at 2:35 PM (14:35) - You need to set this schedule in the Val Town web UI
• Email deals to your Val Town account email (Val Town free tier limitation)
• Store deal history in blob storage under "streaming_deals" key

1. Go to your Val Town dashboard
2. Find the amc_deals_checker.ts val
3. Set the cron schedule to: 35 14 * * * (runs at 2:35 PM daily)

To add another streaming service, simply add a new entry to the STREAMING_SERVICES array in amc_deals_checker.ts:

{
  name: "ServiceName",
  searchTerms: ["ServiceName", "Service Name", "alternate names"],
  officialUrl: "https://www.service.com/",
  retailMeNotSlug: "service.com",
  emoji: "📺"
}

To modify the automation:

1. Add more services: Add new entries to the STREAMING_SERVICES configuration array
2. Change email address: Update the email addresses in the script
3. Add more sources: Add new check functions to the service sources array
4. Adjust frequency: Modify the cron schedule in the Val Town web UI
5. Filter deals: Add price thresholds or keyword filters

You can manually trigger the automation to test it by running the val directly.

The automation uses Val Town's blob storage to keep track of previously found deals under the key "streaming_deals".
