Description

Real-Time MAP Enforcement & Price Violation Alerts using BrowserAct & slack

This n8n template automates MAP (Minimum Advertised Price) enforcement by monitoring reseller websites and alerting you instantly to price violations and stock issues.

This workflow is essential for brand owners, manufacturers, and compliance teams who need to proactively monitor their distribution channels and enforce pricing policies.

How it works

• The workflow runs on a Schedule Trigger (e.g., hourly) to continuously monitor product prices.
• A Google Sheets node fetches your list of resellers, product URLs, and the official MAP price (AP_Price).
• The Loop Over Items node ensures that each reseller’s product is checked individually.
• A pair of BrowserAct nodes navigate to the reseller’s product page and reliably scrape the current live price.
• A series of If nodes check for violations:
  • The first check (If1) looks for “NoData,” signaling that the product is Out of Stock, and sends a specific Slack alert.
  • The second check (If) compares the scraped price to your MAP price, triggering a detailed Slack alert if a MAP violation is found.
• The workflow loops back to check the next reseller on the list.
