How it works
Track any number of Amazon products from a Google Sheet. Every 1,2,3... hours, the workflow:
- Reads your watchlist sheet (producturl, pricethreshold, lastalertedprice) - Loops through each product with a 2s throttle (Scavio API rate limit for trail users) - Extracts the ASIN and country domain from any Amazon URL format (/dp/, /gp/product/, mobile, shortlinks) - Calls Scavio: Amazon Get Product for the live price - Decides whether to email: only when current price first hits or further drops below your threshold (edge-triggered, no spam at flat prices) - Sends a Gmail alert and writes the alerted price back to the sheet so the same level isn't re-alerted
Set up steps
Setup takes about 10 minutes.
1. Install the Scavio community node: in n8n, go to Settings -> Community Nodes -> Install and enter n8n-nodes-scavio. 2. Get a free Scavio API key at https://dashboard.scavio.dev (500 credits/month, 1 credit per Amazon Get Product call). 3. Create a Google Sheet with one tab. Add three columns: producturl, pricethreshold, lastalertedprice. Add one row per product you want to track (paste the Amazon URL and your max price; leave lastalertedprice blank). 4. Import this template, then attach three credentials: Scavio API, Google Sheets OAuth2, and Gmail OAuth2. 5. Open the Get Watchlist and Update lastalertedprice nodes and pick your spreadsheet/tab. 6. Open the Send Gmail node and set sendTo to your alert recipient. 7. Activate.
To re-arm an alert (e.g. you checked but didn't buy), clear the lastalertedprice cell. To stop tracking, delete the row.
