Hi Jed Tobias is correct; widgets shouldn't modify the tiddler store during rendering or refreshing. Doing so can set up an infinite loop whereby the modification to the store triggers another refresh cycle.
One way to approach this functionality would be as a daemon that runs in the background doing it's work, configured by configuration tiddlers. It would listen for changes to the configuration tiddlers. Alternatively, you could implement it as an action widget. Best wishes Jeremy.
