Scrape competitors' affiliate data, analyze threats, sync to Sheets & Slack

This workflow automatically monitors affiliate programs of competitor websites twice daily, using Bright Data's web scraping API to extract key data points like commission rates, cookie durations, average order values, and payout terms.

An AI analysis engine then scores each competitor and categorizes them by threat level, with the results logged in a Google Sheet and critical alerts sent to Slack. This allows affiliate teams to stay up-to-date on competitor activity and make strategic decisions to maintain a market advantage.

How Latenode estimates time and cost

Latenode bills workflow runtime in CPU seconds. The first 10,000 CPU seconds are free each month, then usage follows pay-as-you-go CPU-second pricing. Plug-and-Play (PnP) AI nodes are billed separately—each PnP token is $1 USD, charged pay-as-you-go at vendor cost plus a small processing fee, with no API keys required.
