What This Workflow Does
This automation solves the time-consuming task of manually monitoring competitor pricing pages by automatically capturing screenshots and storing them in an organized Airtable database. It's designed for businesses that need to track pricing strategies, promotional offers, and feature changes across competitor websites.
The workflow uses Browse AI to visit specified URLs at scheduled intervals, capture full-page screenshots exactly as customers see them, and then uploads these visual records to Airtable with timestamps and metadata. This creates a searchable historical archive of pricing changes that can inform your own pricing strategy and market positioning.
How It Works
1. Configure Browse AI Monitoring
The workflow starts by connecting to your Browse AI account where you've set up a robot to monitor specific pricing page URLs. You can configure capture frequency, viewport settings, and handling of popups/cookie banners.
2. Automatic Screenshot Capture
At your scheduled intervals (daily, weekly, etc.), Browse AI visits each configured URL and captures a full-page screenshot, including all visible pricing tables, promotional banners, and feature lists.
3. Data Processing in Make
Make.com receives the screenshot images and associated metadata (timestamp, URL, page title) from Browse AI, then formats this information for storage in your Airtable base.
4. Organized Airtable Storage
Each screenshot is uploaded to Airtable with consistent naming conventions and linked to the corresponding competitor record. The system creates a visual timeline of pricing changes for easy comparison.
Pro tip: Add a "Notes" field in your Airtable to manually record observations about significant pricing changes or promotions that might affect your strategy.
