How it works

  • Checks Google Flights prices for different departure dates for given departure and destination place using the Apify scraper
  • Runs every 10 minutes at night and once per hour during the day via a smart schedule gate
  • Aggregates all date results, finds the cheapest flight, builds a price calendar, and tracks price trends across runs
  • Sends a urgent price-drop alert to Slack when the price falls below the given price didi.png, or a regular status update when it does not

Set up steps

  • Takes about 10 minutes to configure
  • Connect your Apify account and confirm access to the Google Flights scraper actor
  • Authenticate your Slack workspace and verify the channel IDs for #price-drop, #regular-update, and #sales-team
  • Keep detailed node descriptions and field references in the sticky notes inside the workflow
