Monitor Shopify Stores for New Products with BrowserAct and Slack Alerts

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.

Self-Hosted Only This Workflow uses a community contribution and is designed and tested for self-hosted n8n instances only.

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.
