Who’s it for
Women creators, homemakers-turned-entrepreneurs, and feminine lifestyle brands who want a graceful, low-lift way to keep an eye on competitor content and spark weekly ideas.
What it does
On a weekly schedule, this workflow crawls your competitor URLs with Firecrawl (HTTP Request), summarizes each page with OpenAI, brainstorms carousel/pin ideas with Gemini, appends results to Google Sheets (Date, URL, Title, Summary, Ideas), and sends you a single email digest (optional Telegram alert). It includes basic error notifications and a setup-friendly config node.
Requirements
- HTTP credentials for Firecrawl, OpenAI, and Gemini (no keys in nodes)
- Google Sheets OAuth credential
- A Sheets document with a target sheet/range (e.g.,
Digest!A:F) - (Optional) Telegram bot + chat ID
How to set up
- Open Set: Configuration (edit me) and fill:
competitorUrls(one per line),sheetsSpreadsheetId,sheetsRange,
ownerEmail,emailTo,geminiModel,openaiModel
- Attach credentials to the HTTP and Sheets nodes.
- Test by switching Cron to Every minute, then revert to weekly.
How it works
Cron → Firecrawl (per URL) → Normalize → OpenAI (summary) + Gemini (ideas) → Merge → Compile Row → Google Sheets append → Build one digest → Email (+ optional Telegram).
How to customize
- Add/remove competitors or change the weekly send time.
- Tweak the OpenAI/Gemini prompts for your brand voice.
- Expand columns in Sheets (e.g., category, tone, CTA).
- Swap email/Telegram for Slack/Notion, or add persistent logs.
