detail.loadingPreview
Effortlessly scrape book data from any URL, clean the HTML, and organize it into a sortable CSV file. This workflow automates the entire process, from data extraction to email delivery.
About This Workflow
This powerful n8n workflow streamlines the process of extracting valuable book information from websites. It begins by monitoring a Google Sheet for new URLs. Upon detection, it leverages Dumpling AI to scrape the specified webpage, returning clean HTML content. The workflow then intelligently extracts individual book details, such as title and price, and sorts this data by price for easier analysis. Finally, it converts the processed data into a CSV file and automatically emails it, providing you with up-to-date book reports on demand. This is an ideal solution for market research, competitor analysis, or staying informed about product listings.
