Extract listings with MySQL
Runs on a schedule across MySQL, Slack and Google Sheets, diffs the two sides and writes only the gaps, then scrapes the values straight out of the HTML. Built for research, around a "Fetch Target Page" step, in 32 documented nodes.
Extract listings with HTTP / REST API and MySQL. An original, ready-to-import n8n workflow built around the 'Web Scraping' pattern for data & analytics. It runs on a schedule and orchestrates 32 nodes across MySQL, Slack, Google Sheets. It uses n8n's LangChain AI nodes (Agent/Chain + chat model). Retry-on-fail is enabled on external calls. Import the JSON, add your credentials, and adapt the parameters. What used to take a morning now runs on its own.
Key benefits
- ✓Keeps MySQL and Slack in step for research, without anyone re-typing a row
- ✓Compares MySQL against Slack before writing, so only genuine differences land
- ✓Safe to re-run: records already in MySQL or Slack are skipped, across all 32 nodes of this research build
- ✓A failed MySQL or Slack call is retried rather than dropped, at any of the 32 nodes in this research build
- ✓Branches rejoin before MySQL, so a research run reports once rather than 32 times
Use cases
- →Teams keeping MySQL and Slack aligned by hand for research
- →Reconciling MySQL against Slack after the two quietly drifted apart
- →Research work where "Fetch Target Page" is still a manual step before MySQL
- →Research work that only reaches MySQL on a schedule, when someone remembers to start it
Integrations
Workflow preview (32 nodes)
The template's actual node layout and connections. Node parameters and credential slots unlock with the download.
What's inside (32 nodes)
A look at the node types this workflow uses. No purchase required — full parameters and credentials are yours after you buy.
From download to running in 3 steps
- 1Import. In n8n, open Workflows → menu → “Import from File” and pick the downloaded JSON.
- 2Connect. Add your own credentials on the app nodes - n8n highlights exactly which ones need them.
- 3Activate. Run it once to test, then toggle Active. The automation is live.
What you'll learn
Architect levelThe deepest tier - sub-workflow delegation, state snapshots, and full observability.
- •Extracting values from raw HTML with CSS selectors
- •Fetching pages over HTTP and shaping the response into items
- •Diffing against the previous snapshot so only real changes alert
Every node carries its own documentation on the canvas, plus notes explaining why the architecture was built this way, a credential setup guide, troubleshooting, and three practice exercises. Sample data comes pinned to the trigger, so you can hit Execute and watch data flow before connecting a single account.
Common questions
What exactly do I get?
The complete, ready-to-import n8n workflow as a JSON file, delivered instantly after payment. Import it into your own n8n (cloud or self-hosted), add your credentials, and it runs.
How do I import it into n8n?
In n8n, open Workflows, click the three-dot menu, choose “Import from File”, and select the downloaded JSON. Then connect your own app credentials on the highlighted nodes.
Do I need anything else for it to work?
You need your own n8n instance and accounts/credentials for the apps this workflow connects to (MySQL, Slack, Google Sheets, HTTP / REST API, …). No coding is required.
What if it doesn't work for me?
If the file is faulty, won't import, or isn't as described, contact us within 7 days and we'll fix it or refund you - see our refund policy.
Can I modify or resell it?
You can freely adapt and use it in your own or your clients' projects. Reselling or redistributing the template file itself is not permitted.
