document how to add all the alert types

The documentation about rules seems to imply that there is a way to set up notifications when a specific price is reached, or a percentage drop of the price, but it's not obvious how exactly to do that.

The UI only shows a few types of alert rules:

I assume the other alerts are available.. somewhere? It might be nice to have that documented.

so the one's in the image are applied to all stores for that product, hence it's called "Cross Stores Notification Settings".

meaning, if you set max notification to 3, you will only receive 3 notifications for that product, even though that product might had 10 stores and all of them had a discount. (first 3)

as for the notify price and percentage drop, these are per store settings, for example, you might wanna buy an iphone but you're willing to pay 800$ for it on amazon and 700$ on walmart.

i am not sure how can i make it more user friendly tbh, but i can check that again maybe by adding a hint or scenarios.

if you have a better idea, feel free to suggest or you can even contribute to the docs site directly if you like

Aha, now I see it under "Store". I think just documenting that a little bit more would be better. It wasn't obvious to me that section was for setting the alerts per store, I thought it was for adding more stores for that product. (Which, incidentally, I also can't figure out how to do. 😅)

So I have been able to set the target price, but there doesn't seem to be a way to set the percentage drop alert?

BTW, this overall is a really cool project!
