Real-Time Idealista Rental Alerts via Slack & Google Sheets

Never miss another perfect rental opportunity on Idealista again. This automated n8n workflow monitors Idealista rental listings in real-time, instantly alerting you via Slack when new properties matching your criteria become available, while maintaining a comprehensive tracking log in Google Sheets.

What this workflow does

This intelligent rental monitoring system runs every 6 hours to deliver instant notifications for new Idealista listings. The workflow leverages the robust n8n-nodes-idealista-scraper community node for reliable API-based data extraction that won't break like traditional screen scrapers. Each cycle compares fresh listings against your historical data using n8n's workflow static data storage, ensuring only genuinely new properties trigger alerts. Duplicate listings are automatically filtered out, so you receive only actionable notifications with complete property details including price, size, location, and direct Idealista links.
