How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

  • TriggerInbound webhook with competitor URL + SKUHTTP webhook
  • ActionAgent reads competitor's live priceBrowserbase
  • ActionFetch your price, cost, and floor from PostgresPostgreSQLPostgres
  • LogicAlert only if undercut exceeds guardrail and stays above floor
  • OutputSend targeted undercut alert to SlackSlack

What it does

Gives you an on-demand, low-noise price check for one product at a time. When triggered, the agent visits the competitor's product page, reads the current price, looks up your matching SKU and floor price in Postgres, and decides whether the competitor has crossed your undercut guardrail. If and only if they have, it raises a Slack alert with the gap and a suggested matched price; otherwise it stays silent.

When to use it

Use it when a sales rep, a Slack slash command, or another system needs a fast "are we still competitive on this item right now?" answer, rather than waiting for the nightly sweep. Ideal for hot SKUs during a promo window.

How it works

  1. 1An inbound webhook arrives carrying a competitor URL and your SKU.
  2. 2The agent opens the page in Browserbase and extracts the displayed price.
  3. 3A Postgres read returns your current price, cost, and minimum floor.
  4. 4A logic gate fires only when the competitor price is below your price by more than the configured guardrail and stays above your floor.
  5. 5Slack receives a targeted undercut alert with the recommended match price.
