Scrape industry growth signals from BrowserAct to Slack reports

Introduction

This workflow automates the monitoring of market growth signals, such as funding rounds, for specific target industries. It scrapes data using BrowserAct, uses AI to filter and format the results for the current month, and delivers a consolidated report directly to Slack.

Target Audience

Account-Based Marketing (ABM) managers, sales development representatives (SDRs), and venture capital researchers looking to track competitor or prospect activity.

How it works

  1. Scheduling: A Schedule Trigger initiates the workflow once a month to gather recent data.
  2. Configuration: A Set node defines the Target_Industry variable (e.g., "Property Management"), which controls what data acts as a signal.
  3. Data Extraction: The BrowserAct node runs the "ABM Signal Monitor" template to scrape raw company data and growth lists from the web.
  4. AI Analysis: An AI Agent (powered by OpenRouter/GPT-4o) processes the raw text. It filters companies to ensure they match the target industry and have funding dates within the current month.
  5. Data Structuring: The AI formats the valid leads into a structured JSON report, splitting the data if the list exceeds Slack's character limits.
  6. Data Splitting: A Split Out node separates the message array into individual items to ensure reliable delivery.
  7. Notification: A Slack node posts the curated "Growth Signal Report" to a specified channel.

How to set up

  1. Configure Credentials: Connect your BrowserAct, OpenRouter, and Slack accounts in the n8n credentials section.
  2. Prepare BrowserAct: Ensure you have the ABM Signal Monitor template saved in your BrowserAct account.
  3. Define Industry: Open the Set Target Industry node and update the value field to the specific industry you want to track (e.g., "Fintech", "Healthcare").
  4. Select Slack Channel: Open the Send the report to the channel node and select the specific Slack channel where you want the report to appear.

Requirements

  • BrowserAct Account: You must have the ABM Signal Monitor template active in your library.
  • OpenRouter Account: Required to access the GPT-4o model for data filtering and formatting.
  • Slack Account: Required for receiving the final reports.

How to customize the workflow

  1. Change the Trigger Frequency: Update the Monthly Trigger node to run weekly or daily if you require more frequent updates on market signals.
  2. Modify the AI Logic: Edit the System Message in the AI Agent node to change the filtering criteria (e.g., filter by hiring volume instead of funding).
  3. Add a Database: Insert a Google Sheets or Notion node before the Slack step to archive the growth signals for long-term tracking.
