Automation – NSB Guide

How Does it Work?

Automation in NSB is a powerful feature designed to help you catch restocks across various sites and platforms.

When enabled, Automations listen to both NSB’s internal monitors (hosted on our servers) and any Discord Monitors you’ve connected. Once the product you’re targeting restocks and is detected by any of these monitors, NSB will automatically generate and launch tasks based on the settings you’ve configured in the automation.

It’s important to note that proxies are not used during the monitoring phase. Proxies only come into play when tasks are actually created and started.

Creating Automation Group

Click on the “+” on the top left menu, to create a new Automation group.

Choose a name and the module.

Since not all modules share the exact same options for Automation instances, you have to pick a module which serves as the Group type.

Creating Automation

Click on the “+” on the top right to create a new Automation.

You will be prompted with the following window:

1. Title

Give a name to your Automation instance to distinguish it.

2. Number of Tasks

Enter the number of tasks you want to be created when the Automation is triggered.

3. Site(s) To Monitor

Choose which site(s) you want this Automation to monitor. For example: If you choose SupremeUs, this Automation will only be triggered if an item dropped on SupremeUs.

4. Site(s) To Avoid

Choose which site(s) you don’t want the Automation to monitor. This is useful if you want to monitor all sites except certain site. (Optional)

5. Input

Insert your input here, you may use links, keywords, variants, or SKUs. The input is used to search the restocking items, whenever your input matches one of the dropping items, it will trigger the Automation.

You may add multiple inputs per single Automation instance. For example: jordan 1 travis velvet brown -gs -grade -ps -pre -td -tod -kid, DM7866-202. This means, you are monitoring any item that includes travis velvet brown BUT does not include -gs -grade -ps -pre -td -tod -kid OR any item which includes DM7866-202.

6. Size

The size(s) you want for the item specified in the input field.

7. Billings & Proxies

Select your billing profile or group and the proxy list.

If you selected a billing group, each task triggered will pick a billing profile from this billing group linearly.

Triggered tasks will always be assigned the full proxy list (not a single proxy).

8. CC (Auto)

Select your Payment method (based on the module).

9. Advanced

Run Task For:

How many seconds you want the tasks to run after being triggered. Let’s say you enter 60, then the tasks will run for 1 minute and auto stop.

Sites Currency:

In case you want to filter restocking items based on currency, you may enter the desired currencies in this field. For example if you enter: EUR, GBP. In this case, the Automation will catch an item only if its currency is either EUR or GBP.

Min Price and Max Price:

In order to avoid catching wrong or expensive items, you may fill the Min and Max price fields. Automation won’t be triggered if the item is below the minimum price set nor if the item is above the maximum price set.

Auto Delete Created tasks:

You may enable this checkbox if you want the triggered tasks to be deleted automatically after 1 minute from its stop time.

Automation Example

This card shows all the info related to the created Automation.

You may start/stop the automation directly from the card. Its state will be saved, meaning if you have started an automation and you closed NSB, upon restarting it will automatically start again.
When you add an Automation, by default it will be ON (monitoring).
You can also clone, edit, and delete the Automation and check the images of all the items you are monitoring.
When the Automation gets triggered, it will create a task in the Task’s Main tab and it will show a red circle and a number which reflects how many times this Automation was triggered (in Automation’s bottom left corner).

Remote Quick Task

Remote Quick Tasks: refers to clicking on “Quick Task Links” found in the Discord of cookgroups and bots.

You can enable “Remote Quick Tasks” by clicking the button shown in the below image.

Filters and Quick Task

Click the “Gear icon” on the top right corner in order to open the Filters and Quick task settings.

1. Monitor Settings
