Template notes

How it works - Runs automatically on a weekly schedule and fetches the live HTML of every competitor page you define - Strips all HTML tags and captures a clean text snapshot of each page - Compares the current snapshot against the previously stored version using workflow static data — no external database needed - Sends only changed pages to GPT-4.1-mini, which analyses differences across pricing, positioning, product launches, and feature updates - Formats the AI analysis into a structured digest with an executive summary, material changes per competitor, suggested response actions, and watch items for next run - Saves the digest as a Gmail draft addressed to your chosen recipient — ready to review and forward to your team

Set up steps - Open the Define Competitors node and replace the example entries with your competitor names, URLs, and what to watch for (e.g. pricing, features, messaging) - Open the Build Digest Prompt node and replace replace-me@example.com with your recipient's email address - Connect your OpenAI credential to the OpenAI node (GPT-4.1-mini or higher recommended) - Connect your Gmail OAuth2 credential to the Gmail node - Run the workflow once manually to store the first baseline snapshots — no digest will be sent on this first run - Activate the workflow — it will now run every week and only alert you when something has actually changed
