Automated Multi-Platform Game Deals Tracker with Deku Deals & Gmail Alerts

This advanced n8n workflow automates tracking of the best game deals from Deku Deals, aggregating prices across multiple platforms like Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, and PC. It runs daily via a Cron trigger at 8 AM, scrapes the site for popular deals, extracts key details such as game titles, platforms, current/original prices, discounts, and direct links. Using n8n's built-in SQLite database, it intelligently stores previously seen deals to ensure notifications only for new drops or additions, preventing alert fatigue.

Benefits include significant time savings by eliminating manual deal hunting, helping users save money on games, and providing curated summaries of top deals directly to email. It's highly customizable—adjust scrape selectors via browser dev tools, change notification service (e.g., Telegram), or tweak the schedule. No external database needed, making it self-contained and easy to deploy.

Ideal use cases: Gamers wanting to stay ahead of sales events like Steam Summer Sale or Nintendo eShop drops; budget-conscious buyers tracking specific genres; or communities sharing deals. Setup takes 20-35 minutes: authenticate Gmail, configure CSS selectors (guided by sticky notes), and activate. Perfect for lifestyle automation enthusiasts.
