How It Works

Top Branch Workflow A

1. The Market Intelligence:

  • Patrols the Market: Runs hourly to scrape competitor rates for future days.
  • Gathers Intel: If prices spike, it instantly checks event announcements to see if a major event is driving demand.
  • Crunches Numbers: Calculates the exact price gap and filters out noise.

2. The Revenue Manager:

  • Sets Strategy: The AI Agent reviews the price gaps, competitor moves, and event signals.
  • Reports: Writes a strategic Executive Summary and sends it to your WhatsApp.

Bottom Branch Workflow B

3. The Consultant:

  • Recall: When you ask a question via WhatsApp, the bot retrieves the saved analysis, historical rates, and event schedule.
  • Answer: It acts as an on-demand analyst, conducting further analysis to give an informed answer to questions

Setup Steps

1. Config: Add your hotel + competitor hotels (IDs/names) in the Config node.

2. Monitor Window: Set how far ahead you want to monitor (e.g., daysAhead = 30) in the Config node.

3. Sensitivity: Set how sensitive alerts should be (e.g., alert only if competitor moves > 10%) in the Significant Competitor Change node.

4. Connect Credentials:

  • Amadeus (to fetch hotel prices)
  • WhatsApp (to send alerts)
  • Postgres/SQL (to store price snapshots, history, summary)
  • OpenAI (for the AI Agents)

5. Event Source: Update the Fetch VCC nodes to scrape your local convention center or event site.

6. Run a test:

Trigger Workflow A manually and confirm you receive a WhatsApp alert.

Reply to that WhatsApp message to test Workflow B (Q&A).
