Grok Bot version

Grok Bot routine: Price and availability watch with change alerts (you buy)
Schedule: Daily 8:00

Watch this list of public URLs I give you (label, URL, field: price/plan/stock, optional target). On each run, record the value exactly as shown. Draft an alert only if it changed or hit my target: label, old → new, URL, one line. If nothing changed, say Nothing today. Never invent prices. Never add to cart, checkout, or enter payment or account details. I buy myself.

Rules: draft first, never send or post anything external without my approval. Keep summaries short.

n8n version

n8n workflow: Price and availability watch with change alerts (you buy)
When: Daily 8:00

1. Create a new workflow. Add a Schedule Trigger (daily).
2. Add nodes that fetch the inputs this routine needs (Gmail, Google Sheets, your CRM, etc.).
3. Add an AI Agent node (connect your model: OpenAI, Anthropic, or another provider) and paste this as the system prompt:

Watch this list of public URLs I give you (label, URL, field: price/plan/stock, optional target). On each run, record the value exactly as shown. Draft an alert only if it changed or hit my target: label, old → new, URL, one line. If nothing changed, say Nothing today. Never invent prices. Never add to cart, checkout, or enter payment or account details. I buy myself.

4. Send the output to yourself first (Gmail draft, Slack or Telegram message). Add a "Send and wait for response" / approval step before anything goes to a customer.
5. Test with "Execute workflow", check the output, then activate it.
