Stay ahead of the competition with this automated workflow that monitors competitor pricing. It pulls URLs from Google Sheets, analyzes pricing pages using AI, and notifies you of any changes, ensuring you always have the most up-to-date pricing intelligence.
About This Workflow
The 'Monitor Competitor Pricing' workflow is designed to provide businesses with real-time insights into their competitors' pricing strategies. By leveraging the power of automation, this template eliminates the manual effort involved in tracking price fluctuations. It begins by fetching a list of competitor pricing page URLs from a Google Sheet. Each URL is then fed into an AI-powered node that intelligently analyzes the webpage content to extract detailed pricing information, including plan names, prices, and key features. The workflow is intelligent enough to compare current pricing with previous data, highlighting significant differences. Finally, it updates your Google Sheet with the latest pricing and sends a concise notification to your team via Slack, ensuring you're always informed and can react swiftly to market changes.

How To Use
