What This Workflow Does
This n8n workflow solves the problem of manually checking websites for specific job postings, product listings, or other time-sensitive information. Many niche websites don't offer RSS feeds or APIs, forcing you to constantly revisit them manually. Our automated scraper eliminates this tedious process by monitoring target pages and sending Telegram alerts the moment matching content appears.
Perfect for recruiters tracking specific job roles, e-commerce managers monitoring competitor pricing, or investors watching for rare product restocks. The system runs on customizable schedules (hourly, daily, etc.), extracts only the relevant information you define, and delivers instant notifications to your mobile device via Telegram.
How It Works
1. Website Monitoring Setup
The workflow begins by scraping your target webpage using n8n's HTTP Request node. You configure the exact URL to monitor and set up the scraping parameters to extract only the relevant sections of the page (like job listings tables or product cards).
2. Content Filtering
Extracted content passes through filters that check for your predefined keywords (job titles, product names, price ranges). The system compares each new scrape against previous results to detect only genuinely new listings.
3. Alert Processing
When new matches are found, the workflow formats the information into a clean, readable message and sends it through Telegram's API directly to your chosen chat or channel. You'll receive mobile notifications instantly.
4. Scheduled Execution
The entire process runs automatically on your specified schedule (daily, hourly, etc.) using n8n's scheduler. No manual intervention required after initial setup.
