This little app is designed to run on Heroku using hobby dynos and addons. When installed using the button below, it adds:

• A Heroku app
• A hobby-tier Heroku Postgres database
• A hobby-tier Advanced Scheduler addon

You will be asked to enter four configuration details:

• The full https:// URL of the CrowdCube page to monitor
• A valid API key for https://postmarkapp.com to send email
• The sender email address to use
• The recipient email address to use

Once installed, open the Advanced Scheduler addon and instruct it to run this command:

php bin/ccscrape.php

.. every N hours. Every time this executes, the script will check to see if the investment value has increased and, if it has, both log it and send you a simple email alert.

I am not affiliated with CrowdCube in any way, and this is not an official CrowdCube service. You use it entirely at your own risk.
