About the project
Travel Monitor is a serverless flight price tracker that runs entirely on GitHub Actions. You define your trips and a maximum price in a users.yml file, and the pipeline checks Google Flights every day at 9:00 AM UTC — no server required.
When a deal is found, you receive a formatted email alert with the price, your budget, and how much you save.
