Monitor a product page for price changes and alert Slack

On a schedule, the Browser scrapes the live price by CSS selector; a Branch compares it to your threshold and alerts Slack the moment it drops.

How it works

Every step, explained

Import the template and this whole chain runs on autopilot — here's exactly what happens on each run.

Schedule → FlowMattic Browser → Branch
5 steps
Schedule
TRIGGER
Schedule · Every X Hours
This workflow runs on a schedule (Every X Hours) — it starts on its own at the interval and time you set in the Schedule trigger. No incoming event is needed.
FlowMattic Browser
ACTION
FlowMattic Browser · Scrape Content by Selector
FlowMattic Browser — extract text values from a URL using CSS selectors. Ideal for pricing intel, job boards, real-estate feeds → Google Sheets. Data is mapped from earlier steps; connect your FlowMattic Browser account on import.
Branch
LOGIC
Branch · Price below target?
The Branch evaluates "Price below target?": when it's true the Yes path runs, otherwise the No path runs — two outcomes, one workflow.
Slack
ACTION
Slack · Send Channel Message
On the Yes path (condition met) — Slack — post or Schedule a new message to a specific #channel. Data is mapped from earlier steps; connect your Slack account on import.
Google Sheets
ACTION
Google Sheets · New Spreadsheet Row
On the No path (otherwise) — Google Sheets — trigger when a new row is added to the spreadsheet. Data is mapped from earlier steps; connect your Google Sheets account on import.
