What This Workflow Does
This n8n workflow provides real-time monitoring of stock prices across both Indian (NSE/BSE) and US markets, triggering intelligent alerts when specific price conditions are met. Unlike basic price alerts, this system includes smart features like cooldown periods to prevent notification overload and multi-channel delivery to ensure you never miss critical market movements.
The automation solves the problem of constantly watching stock charts by automatically tracking your watchlist and delivering timely alerts through email and Telegram. It's particularly valuable for active traders, portfolio managers, and investors who need to stay informed about price movements across multiple markets without being glued to trading platforms.
How It Works
1. Market Data Collection
The workflow connects to stock market APIs to fetch real-time price data for your configured watchlist. It supports both Indian exchanges (NSE/BSE) and major US markets, updating prices at your specified interval (typically 1-5 minutes).
2. Alert Condition Checking
For each stock in your watchlist, the system checks against your predefined conditions (price thresholds, percentage changes, volume spikes, etc.). Advanced logic ensures alerts only trigger when conditions are truly met, not just temporary fluctuations.
3. Smart Alert Management
The workflow implements cooldown periods to prevent alert fatigue. If a stock triggers multiple alerts within a short timeframe, the system will consolidate notifications rather than bombarding you with duplicates.
4. Multi-Channel Notification
Confirmed alerts are sent simultaneously through both email and Telegram, with clear formatting that highlights the stock symbol, price change, and your configured condition. This redundancy ensures you receive alerts even if one channel has temporary issues.

This workflow is ideal for:
- Day traders who need instant price movement notifications
