Automation System

Price Update

Built an n8n workflow that tracked price changes, calculated the deltas, and sent a clean report on schedule.

The operator got the update without doing the weekly manual pass.

Problem

What needed to be solved.

The job started as a repeating manual task: check prices, find changes, write the update, send it out.

The real issue was consistency. The report had to arrive on time and in a format someone else could use.

Approach

How the system was framed.

I set it up as a scheduled n8n workflow so the human work moved to setup and review, not weekly repetition.

The flow fetches the data, checks what changed, formats the result, and sends one finished output.

Build Details

Architecture, tooling, and operating logic.

  • Scheduled triggers for recurring runs.
  • Webhook and API steps for data retrieval.
  • Change detection and formatting inside the workflow.
  • Final report output built for reading, not debugging.

Results

Operational outcome.

  • Removed the weekly manual check from the workflow.
  • Made the report format consistent from run to run.
  • Created a system the client could keep using.
