Who this workflow is for

This workflow is designed for Presales, Product Managers, Business Analysts, and Sales teams who need to:

• Monitor competitor or SaaS pricing pages
• Convert unstructured pricing content into a structured, comparable format
• Quickly generate and share an internal pricing brief without manual copy/paste

It is especially useful during launches, pricing updates, or quarterly reviews.

What this workflow does

At a high level, the workflow automates the full pricing intelligence pipeline:

1. Scrapes a live SaaS pricing page using a real browser environment
2. Cleans and normalizes the HTML for reliable parsing
3. Uses an LLM agent to extract pricing plans into structured JSON
4. Builds an executive-ready SaaS pricing brief
5. Publishes the brief as a Google Doc and PDF
6. Shares the final PDF directly to Slack

The output is a consistent, repeatable pricing brief ready for internal distribution.

How it works

1. Manual Trigger
   The workflow is manually triggered to ensure intentional execution (ideal for known pricing updates).

2. Configure Target Pricing Page
   Input the competitor pricing URL, device type, and report metadata.

3. Decodo Pricing Scraper
   Renders the full pricing page using JS and device emulation so tier cards, modals, and dynamic content are captured correctly.

4. HTML Normalization
   Custom code removes scripts, styles, and noise, leaving clean, readable text for the LLM.

5. Plan Extraction Agent (LLM)
   The agent translates messy pricing text into a structured JSON schema including:

   • Plan name
   • Price and billing period
   • Key features
   • CTA / positioning notes

6. Build SaaS Pricing Brief
   Transforms structured JSON into an executive-ready markdown brief with:

   • Plan comparison table
   • Key differentiators
   • Observations and suggested next actions

7. Publish Assets
   Creates a Google Doc in a predefined Drive folder and converts it to PDF for sharing.

8. Share in Slack
   Uploads the PDF directly to a Slack channel (e.g. #pricing-intel) for instant visibility.

Requirements

• Decodo node configured with a valid plan
• OpenAI / LLM credentials for the Plan Extraction Agent
• Google Drive API access
• Slack workspace and upload permissions

Notes & best practices

• Manual trigger avoids unnecessary scraping and rate-limit issues
• Device emulation ensures accurate pricing capture
• Structured JSON output enables future extensions (trend tracking, diffing, dashboards)
• The workflow is modular and easy to adapt for other competitor intelligence use cases
