Compare product prices on Amazon and Jumia with Decodo, OpenAI and Telegram

What Problem Does It Solve?

• We’ve all been there: you want to check if a product is cheaper on Amazon or Jumia, but opening a dozen tabs is a pain.
• Building a bot to do this usually fails because big e-commerce sites love to block scrapers with CAPTCHAs.
• This workflow fixes that headache by:
  • Taking a product name from a chat message.
  • Using Decodo to handle the hard part—searching Google and scraping the product pages without getting blocked.
  • Using AI to read the messy HTML and pull out just the price and product name.
  • Sending a clean "Best Price" summary back to the user instantly.

How to Configure It

Telegram Setup

• Create a bot with BotFather and paste your token into the Telegram node.
• Make sure your webhook is set up so the bot actually "hears" the messages.

Decodo

• This is the engine that makes the workflow reliable.
• You'll need to add your Decodo API key in the credentials.
• We used Decodo here specifically because it handles the proxies and browser fingerprinting for you—so your Amazon requests actually go through instead of failing.

AI Setup

• Plug in your OpenAI API key (or swap the node for Claude/Gemini if you prefer).
• The system prompt is already set up to ignore ads and find the real price, but feel free to tweak the tone.

How It Works

1. Trigger: You text the bot a product name (e.g., "Sony XM5").
2. Search: The workflow asks Decodo to Google that specific term on sites like Amazon.eg.
3. Scrape: It grabs the URLs and passes them back to Decodo to fetch the page content safely.
4. Extract: The AI reads through the text, finds the lowest price, and ignores the clutter.
5. Reply: The bot texts you back with the best deal found.

Customization Ideas

• Go wider: Edit the search query to check other stores like Noon or Carrefour.
• Track trends: Connect a Google Sheet to log what people are searching for—great for market research.
