Open on n8n.io

Overview

Stop checking competitor prices manually.

This workflow monitors product prices across multiple online retailers every day — automatically. The moment a price changes, you get an instant Telegram alert with the product name, old price, new price, and a direct link to the page.

Set it up once. Let it run forever.


What it does

  • Scrapes product pages daily using ZenRows with JS rendering and residential proxies
  • Extracts prices via JSON-LD structured data — works across most major retailers
  • Compares each price against the last known value stored in an n8n DataTable
  • Tracks full price history for every product over time
  • Sends an AI-written summary alert via Telegram only when prices actually change
  • Updates all records automatically — no manual database management

What's inside

  • Ready-to-import n8n workflow (14 nodes, fully documented with sticky notes)
  • Full setup guide — step by step from zero to running in ~15 minutes
  • DataTable schema template for instant import
  • Sample Amazon product URLs to test immediately after setup

What you need

  • n8n (self-hosted or cloud)
  • ZenRows API key (web scraping)
  • OpenAI API key (alert generation)
  • Telegram Bot token

Who it's for

Perfect for e-commerce store owners, small businesses, and anyone who needs to stay on top of competitor pricing without lifting a finger.


P.S. I actually use this workflow myself to monitor the price of a tablet I want to buy. I simply pasted the product URLs from a few local retailers and now every morning,if any price changed overnight, I get a Telegram message. That's it. No app, no subscription(only Open Ai, zenrows have free tier), no manual checking.
