Google Shopping Price Monitor with Make + Apify (NexGenData)

Reading Time: 2 minutes

A Make workflow that uses Apify. NexGenData has no official Make app β€” these are public-data Apify actors you run inside Make through Make’s official Apify integration, on a schedule, with your own Apify token.

The problem: prices and sellers move faster than you can check them

If you sell into e-commerce, run an agency, or watch competitors, product prices, sellers, and availability change daily. Checking them by hand doesn’t scale, and you find out about a competitor’s price drop or a stockout too late. A scheduled Make scenario pulls Google Shopping data automatically and pushes only the changes into a sheet or a Slack channel.

Who this is for

E-commerce sellers, DTC brands, competitive-intelligence and agency teams who want hands-off price and product monitoring.

The Make workflow

  1. Schedule trigger β€” run the scenario on an interval (e.g. daily, or hourly on a paid Make plan).
  2. Run an Actor β€” Apify app β†’ “Run an Actor” β†’ Google Shopping Scraper, with your product queries in the Input JSON.
  3. Get Dataset Items β€” pull the run’s results (product, seller, price, availability, rating).
  4. Filter / format β€” keep only price drops, stockouts, or new SKUs (compare to last run).
  5. Send to destination β€” Google Sheets “Bulk Add Rows”, a Slack alert, an email digest, Airtable, or a webhook into your own tool.

Full module names and the dedupe pattern are in the workflow recipes. Connection is bring-your-own Apify token.

Run it on a schedule

Set the Make schedule once and the scenario becomes an always-on price watch: every run refreshes the data and alerts you only when something moved β€” no manual spot-checks.

FAQ

Does NexGenData have an official Make app? No. This is a Make workflow that uses Make’s official Apify integration to run a NexGenData actor with your own Apify token.

What does it cost? Make’s free tier covers light, ~15-minute-interval scheduling; the actor run is pay-per-use on your own Apify account.

How do I detect only price changes? Store the last run’s prices (in a sheet or Make Data Store) and filter to rows that changed before alerting.
