Brief Overview
This automation template helps you track the latest real estate listings from the LoopNet platform. By using Scrapeless to scrape property listings, n8n to orchestrate the workflow, and Google Sheets to store the results, you can build a real estate data pipeline that runs automatically on a weekly schedule.
How It Works
- Trigger on a Schedule: The workflow runs automatically every week (can be adjusted to every 6 hours, daily, etc.).
- Scrape Property Listings: Scrapeless crawls the LoopNet real estate website and returns structured Markdown data.
- Extract & Parse Content: JavaScript nodes use regex to parse property titles, links, sizes, year built from Markdown.
- Flatten Data: Each property listing becomes a single row with structured fields.
- Save to Google Sheets: Property data is appended to your Google Sheet for easy analysis, sharing, and reporting.
