1.1 Workflow description

Title
Monitor website changes with Bright Data, Claude, Airtable and Slack
Workflow name
Monitor website changes with Bright Data, Claude, Airtable and Slack

How it works

  • A schedule trigger periodically fetches the list of URLs to monitor from your CRM (Airtable by default)
  • Bright Data Web Unlocker scrapes each page (handles JS, CAPTCHAs, geo-blocks)
  • Claude Sonnet 4.6 compares the new HTML against the previous snapshot and ignores noise (timestamps, build IDs, CSS)
  • The new snapshot and AI summary are saved back to the CRM
  • If a real, visible change is detected, Slack notifies your team

Set up steps

  • Setup time: ~10 minutes
  • Connect your CRM, Bright Data, Anthropic and Slack credentials
  • Set the Schedule Trigger interval (hourly, daily...)
  • Add the URLs you want to monitor with Active = TRUE
  • Activate the workflow

See the sticky notes inside the workflow for details on how to swap Airtable, Claude or Slack for your preferred tools.
