What Problem Does It Solve? - We’ve all been there: you want to check if a product is cheaper on Amazon or Jumia, but opening a dozen tabs is a pain. - Building a bot to do this usually fails because big e-commerce sites love to block scrapers with CAPTCHAs. - This workflow fixes that headache by: - Taking a product name from a chat message. - Using Decodo to handle the hard part—searching Google and scraping the product pages without getting blocked. - Using AI to read the messy HTML and pull out just the price and product name. - Sending a clean "Best Price" summary back to the user instantly.
How to Configure It Telegram Setup - Create a bot with BotFather and paste your token into the Telegram node. - Make sure your webhook is set up so the bot actually "hears" the messages.
Decodo - This is the engine that makes the workflow reliable. - You'll need to add your Decodo API key in the credentials. - We used Decodo here specifically because it handles the proxies and browser fingerprinting for you—so your Amazon requests actually go through instead of failing.
AI Setup - Plug in your OpenAI API key (or swap the node for Claude/Gemini if you prefer). - The system prompt is already set up to ignore ads and find the real price, but feel free to tweak the tone.
How It Works 1. Trigger: You text the bot a product name (e.g., "Sony XM5"). 2. Search: The workflow asks Decodo to Google that specific term on sites like Amazon.eg. 3. Scrape: It grabs the URLs and passes them back to Decodo to fetch the page content safely. 4. Extract: The AI reads through the text, finds the lowest price, and ignores the clutter. 5. Reply: The bot texts you back with the best deal found.
Customization Ideas - Go wider: Edit the search query to check other stores like Noon or Carrefour. - Track trends: Connect a Google Sheet to log what people are searching for—great for market research.
