Track Google Hotels Price Drops in n8n, Alert Slack Daily

Know when Google Hotels get cheaper—automatically, every day

This n8n workflow tracks Google Hotels price drops for a chosen city and date range, then posts a daily Slack alert listing the hotels whose nightly price fell since the last run.

What this workflow does

• Runs daily at 08:00 using an n8n schedule trigger.
• Calls the Apify Google Hotels Scraper Actor with your:
  • target location/city
  • check-in and check-out dates
  • optional minimum rating filter
  • optional monitorName to track price history
• Requests results focused specifically on price drops.
• Formats up to 15 hotels into a single Slack message showing:
  • hotel rating
  • new price per night
  • previous price
  • a Google Hotels link
• Posts to your chosen Slack channel, and sends nothing if no price drops are returned.

Use cases

• Trip planning: monitor a destination and get alerted the moment a better nightly rate appears.
• SaaS operators & automation engineers: turn market changes into actionable notifications in Slack.
• Travel teams: coordinate booking decisions by catching daily price reductions without manual searching.
