Amazon Price Tracker & Competitor Monitoring Workflow (Apify + Google Sheets)

This n8n workflow automates Amazon price tracking and competitor monitoring by scraping product pricing via Apify and updating your Google Sheet every day.

It removes manual price checks, keeps your pricing data always fresh, and helps Amazon sellers stay ahead in competitive pricing, Buy Box preparation, and daily audits.

đź’ˇ Use Cases

  • Automatically track prices of your Amazon products
  • Monitor competitor seller prices across multiple URLs
  • Maintain a daily pricing database for reporting and insights
  • Catch sudden competitor undercutting or pricing changes
  • Support Buy Box analysis by comparing seller prices
  • Scale from 10 to 1000+ product URLs without manual effort

đź§  How It Works

  • Scheduled Trigger runs the workflow every morning
  • Google Sheets node loads all product rows with seller URLs
  • Loop node processes each item one-by-one
  • Apify Actor node triggers the Amazon scraper
  • HTTP Request node fetches the scraped result from Apify
  • JavaScript node extracts, cleans, and formats price data
  • Update Sheet node writes the fresh prices back to the right row
  • Supports additional price columns for more sellers or metrics

âž• Adding New Competitor Columns (Step-by-Step)

1. Add a new column in Google Sheets

Add two new columns:

competitor_url_3 price_comp_3


2. Update the Apify Actor (inside n8n)

In the Apify Actor node, pass the new competitor URL:

"competitor_url_3": {{$json.competitor_url_3}}

This ensures Apify scrapes the additional competitor product page.


3. Update your Code (JavaScript) node

Inside the Code node, extract the new competitor’s price from the Apify JSON and attach it to the output:

const price_comp_3 = item?.offers?.[2]?.price || null; item.price_comp_3 = price_comp_3;

return item; (Adjust the index [2] based on the Apify output structure.)


Update the Google Sheet “Update Row” node

To save the new values into your Sheet:

  1. Open your Google Sheets Update Row node
  2. Scroll to Field Mapping
  3. Map Columns with New Data

Hit the "Save & Execute" Button.🚀

⚡ Requirements

  • Apify account (free tier is enough)
  • Apify "Amazon Product Scraper" API (Costs $40/month - 14-day free trial)
  • Google Sheet containing product URLs
  • Basic credentials setup inside n8n

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/11062/11062.json as the source template for this automation.

  2. 2. Import the template into n8n

    Open n8n, import the downloaded JSON, and review each node before activating the workflow.

  3. 3. Configure credentials and variables

    Replace placeholder credentials, API keys, webhook URLs, account IDs, and environment-specific values with your own settings.

  4. 4. Test with sample data

    Run the workflow manually or in a staging workspace, inspect node output, and confirm downstream systems receive the expected data.

  5. 5. Activate and monitor

    Enable the workflow only after testing, then monitor executions, errors, and rate limits during the first production runs.

5. General Notes & Resources

Review imported nodes carefully before activation. This catalog entry is intended to help you inspect the workflow structure, understand required services, and find related templates faster.

Node names, credentials, schedules, webhook paths, and external service limits may need adjustment for your workspace.
