What it does

It watches one high-priority competitor's pricing page frequently, extracts the numeric price for each plan, and compares against the last seen amounts. When any plan's price falls, it immediately sends a targeted Slack alert tagging the responsible owner so pricing or sales can react fast.

When to use it

Use it when a specific rival's pricing directly threatens an active deal or renewal cycle and you need to know within hours, not next Monday. Best for a single must-watch competitor rather than a broad field.

How it works

  1. 1A short-interval schedule triggers the check.
  2. 2Firecrawl scrapes the target pricing page and extracts each plan's numeric price.
  3. 3The flow loads the last recorded prices from Coda.
  4. 4A logic step compares per-plan amounts and proceeds only if any price decreased.
  5. 5The new prices are saved back to Coda.
  6. 6An urgent Slack alert is posted to the pricing-response channel with the old and new amounts and percent change.
