How do filters work?
Features & Capabilities
Filters tell Relay Autobooker Cardamon which Amazon Relay loads to book and which to skip. The settings below cover the filter rules plus refresh speed, multi-tab use, and audio alerts:
Available settings:
Load Filters (which freight the bot will book)
Three rules decide which loads qualify:
- Max Stops: only book loads with this many stops or fewer (skip multi-stop runs).
- Stem Time: set a minimum lead time in minutes before pickup; the extension skips loads that start too soon to reach. Off by default, and sits right next to Max Stops. See how the Stem Time filter works.
- Min payout increase: paired with the "Stop on payout change" mode, only react when a load's payout rises by at least your threshold.
When a flagged load doesn't match a filter, the extension shows a muted "Skipped: …" chip naming the rule that blocked it (e.g. "stops > 2", "stem < 45m", "payout < 20"). See change & skip chips.
Delay/Refresh Rate (Amazon Relay Auto-Refresh Speed)
Controls how often the load board auto-refreshes. There are 26 preset speeds:
- Fast: 10ms, 50ms, 100ms, 150ms, 200ms, 300ms, 500ms
- Moderate: 1s, 1.5s, 2s, 2.5s, 3s, 4s, 5s (recommended)
- Slow: 6s, 7s, 8s, 9s, 10s, 15s, 20s, 25s, 30s
Recommended: start with 2-3 seconds. It balances speed against browser performance.
Multiple Tabs Support (run several searches at once)
Run the extension in several load board tabs at the same time:
- Each tab monitors its own search
- Set different load filters per tab (origin, destination, rate, etc.)
- Tabs work independently of each other
- More searches running means more loads you can catch
Pro Tip: Split your tabs: Tab 1 for high-paying loads, Tab 2 for quick local runs. You cover more of the board that way.
Audio Alerts
Get sound notifications for different events:
- New loads detected
- Payout changes found
- Chatbot appeared
- Max refresh count reached
Recommended Setup for Beginners: 2-3 second delay + "Imitate a human's behavior" enabled + Auto Operations Mode 0 (manual). The extension refreshes the board for you while you keep full control over what gets booked.
