 Note: This template is for self-hosted n8n instances only

You can use this workflow to fully automate website content monitoring and change detection on a weekly basis—even when there’s no native node for scraping or structured comparison. It uses an AI-powered scraper, structured data extraction, and integrates Google Sheets, Drive, Docs, and email for seamless tracking and reporting.

Main Use Cases

- Monitor and report changes to websites (e.g., pricing, content, headings, FAQs) over time - Automate web audits, compliance checks, or competitive benchmarking - Generate detailed change logs and share them automatically with stakeholders

How it works

The workflow operates as a scheduled process, organized into these stages:

1. Initialization & Configuration

- Triggers weekly (or manually) and initializes key variables: Google Drive folder, spreadsheet IDs, notification emails, and test mode.
