1.1 Workflow description

Title
Advanced market trends & competitor GPT-4o intelligence hub
Workflow name
Advanced market trends & competitor GPT-4o intelligence hub

How It Works

Automated daily scraping of competitor websites, pricing pages, job postings, and press releases feeds into an AI analyzer powered by OpenAI or Claude to extract trends, insights, and key metrics. The analyzed results are stored in Google Sheets for historical tracking and longitudinal comparison, and are automatically shared with stakeholders via email or WhatsApp. This workflow eliminates manual competitive research, enabling product teams and executives to monitor market movements efficiently and make timely, data-driven decisions.

Setup Steps

  1. Configure the daily schedule trigger.
  2. Define competitor URLs using workflow variables.
  3. Add and configure the OpenAI or Claude API key.
  4. Authenticate Google Sheets using the appropriate credentials.
  5. Connect Gmail and WhatsApp Business API tokens.
  6. Test each scraper individually before enabling full automation.

Prerequisites

OpenAI/Claude API account, Google Sheets access, Gmail account, WhatsApp Business API, web scraping enabled

Use Cases

Market share monitoring, pricing strategy updates, competitor talent movement tracking, industry trend reports

Customization

Modify scrape targets, adjust AI prompt for different metrics, change alert frequency

Benefits

Real-time competitive visibility, reduced manual research 15+ hours/week, faster decision-making
