Automated E-commerce Store Monitoring for New Products Using BrowserAct
This n8n template is an advanced competitive intelligence tool that automatically monitors competitor E-commerce/Shopify stores and alerts you the moment they launch a new product.
This workflow is essential for e-commerce store owners, product strategists, and marketing teams who need real-time insight into what their competitors are selling.
Self-Hosted Only
This Workflow uses a community contribution and is designed and tested for self-hosted n8n instances only.
How it works
- The workflow runs on a Schedule Trigger to check for new products automatically (e.g., daily).
- A Google Sheets node fetches your master list of competitor store links from a central sheet.
- The workflow loops through each competitor one by one.
- For each competitor, a Google Sheets node first creates a dedicated tracking sheet (if one doesn't exist) to store their product list history.
- A BrowserAct node then scrapes the competitor's current product list from their live website.
- The scraped data is saved to the competitor's dedicated tracking sheet.
- The workflow then fetches the newly scraped list and the previously stored list of products.
- A custom Code node (labeled "Compare Datas") performs a difference check to reliably detect if any new products have been added.
- If a new product is detected, an If node triggers an immediate Slack alert to your team, providing real-time competitive insight.
Requirements
- BrowserAct API account for web scraping
- BrowserAct "Competitors Shopify Website New Product Monitor" Template
- BrowserAct n8n Community Node -> (n8n Nodes BrowserAct)
- Google Sheets credentials for storing and managing data
- Slack credentials for sending alerts
