How it works
This n8n workflow automates the process of tracking your daily PG&E energy costs. It begins with a Schedule Trigger to run the automation daily at 8 AM.
A Create session node initiates an Airtop session, followed by Create browser window to open the PG&E website. The workflow then securely logs in using credentials stored in Variables and typed into the USERNAME text box and PASSWORD Text Box nodes.
It navigates through the site using Go to "Energy Usage Details", Go to "Energy Costs", and Go to "Electricity and Gas" nodes to reach the relevant cost information. A Wait 5 secs node ensures the page loads properly.
The Extract Costs node, powered by Airtop's extraction capabilities, scrapes the daily natural gas and electricity costs, formatting them into a clean HTML email. Finally, a Send email node dispatches this report to your specified email address. The workflow concludes by terminating the Airtop session using End session.
Key Features
- Daily automated PG&E energy cost monitoring
- Secure login and navigation via Airtop
- Data extraction for gas and electricity costs

- Session management for efficient resource use
How To Use
- Configure Schedule: Set the
Schedule Triggerto your desired daily execution time (default is 8 AM). - Set Credentials: In the
Variablesnode, input your PG&E username, password, and the email address where you want to receive reports. Ensure these are kept secure. - Airtop Session & Browser: The
Create sessionandCreate browser windownodes manage the automated browser instance. Ensure your Airtop profile (cesar-prod) is correctly set up. - Navigation: The workflow handles navigating to the energy cost details on the PG&E website. The
elementDescriptionfields in the Airtop nodes should accurately target the correct UI elements. - Email Configuration: In the
Send emailnode, configure your email service (e.g., Gmail) credentials and set the recipient's email address using theEmailvariable. - Activate Workflow: Enable the workflow to start your daily energy cost tracking.
