AI-Powered Instagram Competitor Story Alert
detail.loadingPreview
Proactively monitor competitor Instagram stories with this AI-driven n8n workflow. It automatically processes new story content, analyzes it against historical data using Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), and alerts your team to significant developments, ensuring you never miss a beat in the competitive landscape.
About This Workflow
Stay ahead of the competition with this powerful AI workflow designed to automate Instagram competitor story monitoring. Triggered by a webhook when a new story is detected (requiring an external watcher), the workflow first processes the incoming content, splitting it into manageable chunks. These chunks are then converted into numerical embeddings using OpenAI, and stored in a Supabase vector database, building a rich historical context.
Leveraging a sophisticated RAG Agent, the new story is analyzed in real-time against this historical data using an OpenAI Chat Model and vector search. This allows for intelligent insights, trend detection, and the identification of competitor strategy shifts. All analysis results are logged to Google Sheets for record-keeping, and any processing errors trigger an immediate Slack alert, ensuring robust and reliable competitive intelligence.
Key Features
- Real-time Monitoring: Instantly process competitor Instagram stories as they go live via a webhook trigger.
- AI-Powered Analysis (RAG): Utilize OpenAI's Chat Model and a vector database (Supabase) for intelligent, context-aware content analysis.
- Historical Data Context: Build and query a robust knowledge base of past competitor stories for richer insights and trend detection.
- Automated Logging: Keep a detailed record of competitor activity and AI analysis results in Google Sheets.
- Error Notifications: Receive immediate Slack alerts if any part of the analysis process encounters an issue.
How To Use
- Configure Webhook: Set up an external service to detect new Instagram competitor stories and send their content to the provided n8n Webhook URL (
/alert-on-instagram-competitor-story). - OpenAI Credentials: Provide your OpenAI API key credentials for the 'Embeddings' and 'Chat Model' nodes.
- Supabase Credentials & Index: Configure your Supabase API credentials and ensure the 'alert_on_instagram_competitor_story' vector index is correctly set up in both 'Supabase Insert' and 'Supabase Query' nodes.
- Define RAG Agent Logic: Customize the 'RAG Agent' prompt and tools to define specific alert criteria or analysis objectives (e.g., "Alert me if a competitor story mentions a new feature," or "Summarize the key themes of this story compared to their last 5 stories").
- Google Sheets Setup: Connect your Google Sheets account and specify the
SHEET_IDandLogsheet name where the analysis results will be appended. - Slack Alerts: Provide your Slack API credentials to receive error notifications in the designated
#alertschannel.
