Description
✅ What problem does this workflow solve?
Online course prices—especially on platforms like Udemy—change frequently and often include time-limited discounts. Manually checking prices, coupon availability, and offer expiration is tedious and unreliable.
This workflow automates browser-based price tracking using Airtop, detects high-discount deals, logs them in Google Sheets, and instantly notifies you on Telegram—all without scraping hacks or brittle scripts.
⚙️ What does this workflow do?
- Automates real browser interactions using Airtop
- Searches Udemy for specific course topics
- Extracts live course pricing and offer data
- Detects discounts of 50% or more
- Logs deal details in Google Sheets
- Sends real-time Telegram alerts before offers expire
🧠 How It Works – Step by Step
1. ⏱ Schedule Trigger
The workflow runs automatically at a fixed interval (hourly or daily).
2. 🌐 Create Browser Session (Airtop)
- Starts a new Airtop browser session
- Opens Udemy search results for a specific keyword (e.g.,
n8n)
3. 🔍 Scrape Course Data
Using Airtop’s extraction capabilities, the workflow collects:
- Course title
- Instructor name
- Current price
- Original price (if available)
- Rating
- Offer expiration time
- Course URL
4. 🔁 Loop Through Courses
Each course is processed individually to:
- Check if an offer exists
- Skip non-discounted courses
5. 🧮 Calculate Discount Percentage
- Extracts numeric price values
- Computes discount percentage
- Filters courses with ≥ 50% discount
6. 📊 Log Deals in Google Sheets
For qualifying deals, the workflow appends:
- Course title
- Instructor
- Original & discounted price
- Discount percentage
- Rating
- Offer time left
- Course URL
This creates a persistent deal history for tracking and analysis.
7. 📣 Telegram Notification
When a high-discount deal is found, a formatted Telegram alert is sent including:
- Course name
- Instructor
- Discount amount
- Price comparison
- Rating
- Direct course link
- Offer expiration info
8. 🧹 Cleanup
- Closes the Airtop browser window
- Terminates the session to conserve resources
