Target Audience

  • Project Managers looking to streamline communication regarding website updates.
    - Developers who need a quick way to report changes on web pages.
    - Marketing Teams that want to keep stakeholders informed about relevant changes.
    - Content Creators who need to track updates on competitor websites.

    • Problem Solved

    This workflow automates the process of monitoring changes on specified websites and notifying relevant parties via email. By integrating various tools, it reduces manual effort, ensures timely updates, and enhances communication efficiency.

    Workflow Steps

  • Trigger: The workflow begins when a user submits a new espionage assignment form, providing instructions for the task.
    2. Convert Message: The assignment instructions are sent to the OpenAI Chat Model, which generates a website URL and a detailed prompt for further processing.
    3. Parse Results: The JSON response from the OpenAI model is parsed to extract the relevant website URL and prompt.
    4. Scrape Page: The workflow scrapes the specified webpage twice—once immediately and once after a 1-day wait—to compare the content changes.
    5. Send Email: After scraping, the workflow checks if there are significant differences between the old and new versions. If so, it sends an email to the specified recipient with details about the changes.

    • Customization Guide

  • Modify Email Recipients: Change the sendTo field in the Gmail node to notify different stakeholders.
    - Adjust Scraping Parameters: Update the url and formats in the scraping nodes to target different websites or content types.
    - Customize Prompts: Alter the content of the prompts sent to the OpenAI model to refine the responses based on specific needs.
    - Change Wait Duration: Modify the amount in the wait node to adjust how long the workflow waits before scraping the page again.
