Monitor Competitor Pricing and Send Price Change Alerts to Gmail
This workflow helps you automatically track competitor product changes to stay ahead in the market. You can customize the specific product URLs you want to monitor and the email address that receives alerts via Gmail. It uses a custom scraper to extract details like price, stock status, and discounts, then compares them against a saved snapshot from the previous day. In this example, the workflow monitors a list of electronics from various retailers. For each item, it identifies price drops or stock refills and sends you a formatted HTML email with recommended business actions, such as matching a price or launching a promotion.
What it does

Load your configured list of competitor product URLs and the previous day's pricing snapshot.
