Automated E-commerce Store Monitoring for New Products Using BrowserAct

This n8n template is an advanced competitive intelligence tool that automatically monitors competitor E-commerce/Shopify stores and alerts you the moment they launch a new product.

This workflow is essential for e-commerce store owners, product strategists, and marketing teams who need real-time insight into what their competitors are selling.


How it works

  • The workflow runs on a Schedule Trigger to check for new products automatically (e.g., daily).
  • A Google Sheets node fetches your master list of competitor store links from a central sheet.
  • The workflow loops through each competitor one by one.
  • For each competitor, a Google Sheets node first creates a dedicated tracking sheet (if one doesn't exist) to store their product list history.
  • A BrowserAct node then scrapes the competitor's current product list from their live website.
  • The scraped data is saved to the competitor's dedicated tracking sheet.
  • The workflow then fetches the newly scraped list and the previously stored list of products.
  • A custom Code node (labeled "Compare Datas") performs a difference check to reliably detect if any new products have been added.
  • If a new product is detected, an If node triggers an immediate Slack alert to your team, providing real-time competitive insight.

Requirements

  • BrowserAct API account for web scraping
  • BrowserAct "Competitors Shopify Website New Product Monitor" Template
  • BrowserAct n8n Community Node -> (n8n Nodes BrowserAct)
  • Google Sheets credentials for storing and managing data
  • Slack credentials for sending alerts
