What this workflow does

This powerful workflow keeps your real estate data up-to-date and pushes insights to your team in Slack. Here's how it functions:

• Operates on a monthly schedule, targeting a specified ZIP code for analysis.
• Queries Supabase tables to check if there's existing rental and sales market data older than the current month.
• If data exists, calculates month-over-month changes and sends a detailed Slack update, flagging any insufficiencies in data history.
• In the absence of data, it fetches the latest market stats from the Rentcast API.
• Upserts new data into Supabase, ensuring historical and summary information is captured and accessible.
• Calculates changes from this newly acquired data and forwards a comprehensive market summary to Slack, or notifies about incomplete data if necessary.
