Monitor Website Changes & Notify via Telegram

This n8n workflow monitors specified websites for content changes, ideal for tracking competitor blogs or news sites. It uses a Cron node to trigger checks every 5 minutes, fetches the webpage source code via HTTP Request, waits 5 minutes, fetches again, and uses an IF node to compare the two responses. If content differs, it proceeds to notify via Telegram (implied in the false branch).

Benefits include real-time awareness of updates without manual checking, saving time for content creators, marketers, or analysts. Customize by swapping URLs from sitemaps.xml for blogs, enabling competitive intelligence like new article postings on rival sites.

Use cases: Track Hacker News or competitor homepages for new stories; monitor e-commerce product pages for price/stock changes; or watch service status pages. Scalable for multiple sites by duplicating branches, with low resource use due to simple string comparison.
