Dashboard

Live show stats, recent labels, the bid feed, manual user adds, and the connection-loss banner.

Last updated 2026-05-23 · Applies to NotBot 1.3.4+

The NotBot dashboard is the panel on the right of the app. It shows everything happening during your show in real time and stays current after the show ends so you can reprint labels and audit history.

Layout

The app window is split into two panels:

  • Left panel (larger): the built-in browser where you navigate to and view your livestream.
  • Right panel (smaller): the dashboard.

A draggable divider between the panels lets you resize the split.

A global top bar above the split window holds the high-level view switch:

  • Dashboard for live activity on the active show.
  • Label Designer opens the Label Designer.
  • Show History lists past shows with a searchable list and stream details.

The Label Designer and Show History tabs only appear once you're signed in.

The Dashboard tab

This is the default view during a live show. The right panel is dominated by the Live Activity view, which contains the recent-labels panel, the live bid feed, the auto-print toggle, and the settings gear. History sub-tabs (Auctions, Purchases, Giveaways) sit below. The disconnect-warning banner is rendered above the split window itself, just under the top bar, so it's visible regardless of which view is active.

Live Activity

Two panels side by side:

Recent Labels (left) shows the latest print jobs for the current show. Each entry displays the buyer number, username, item name (when present), and a status indicator. See Print Queue for the full set of statuses.

Live Bids (right) is the real-time feed of bids placed during active auctions. Each row shows the product, bidder username, bid count, and amount.

An Auto-print toggle sits at the top of the feed. Turn it off to pause auto-printing mid-show. Events are still tracked, buyer numbers are still assigned, and you can reprint individual auctions and Buy It Now purchases from history after the fact. Giveaway reprints from history are not exposed today. A banner under the toggle reminds you that printing is paused. The Settings gear icon also lives in this header, next to the toggle.

Username Tracking

Two compact controls for managing buyer numbers manually:

  • Add New User: type a username and click Add & Print. NotBot assigns the next number and prints a buyer label. Useful for buyers you saw but who didn't show up in an auction NotBot detected (for example, when the platform dropped a payment-related event).
  • Reprint Existing: select a buyer from the list (sorted by number, most recent first) and click Reprint Label to requeue their label.

History tabs

Below the live activity, three sub-tabs let you browse the active show's events:

  • Auction History lists every auction win, newest first. Click any row to reprint that auction's label.
  • Purchase History lists every Buy It Now purchase. Click to reprint.
  • Giveaway History lists every giveaway with the winner(s), entry count, and timestamp.

A + Add missing auction button sits at the top of the auction history. Use it when you know an auction happened but NotBot did not catch the event, usually because the connection dropped at exactly that moment. The button opens a modal where you enter the item name, winner, and price, and NotBot assigns a buyer number and prints the label as if the event had been received normally.

Disconnect / connection-loss banner

If the live feed connection drops, an orange banner appears with this text:

The connection to Whatnot dropped. This usually means a network interruption on Whatnot's side or your internet, and any auctions that ended during the outage may have been missed. Check your auction list for gaps.

When it reconnects, the banner turns green:

The connection to Whatnot is back. Please check your auction list for any gaps that may have happened during the outage.

The cause can be either Whatnot's servers or your computer's internet connection, depending on the situation. Switching from Wi-Fi to wired ethernet helps for the second case but not the first. The banner is Whatnot-specific today. Poshmark Live and eBay Live disconnect surfacing is on the roadmap (see Roadmap).

Browser panel and navigation

The built-in browser sits in the left panel of the main app window. It has its own URL bar and tab bar. That is where the mute toggle lives (the speaker icon next to the URL), and where the platform tabs (Whatnot, Poshmark, eBay) appear. The browser is muted by default to prevent audio echo when running NotBot next to a phone or iPad playing the show. Toggle the speaker to unmute on the fly.

The Dashboard / Label Designer / Show History view switch lives in the global top bar above the split window. See the Layout section at the top of this page.
