This is a handoff plan, not an automatic integration. Review outputs before the next step. Unlabeled arrows show order, not a verified data format. Use the capability links to explore tool substitutions.
Step 1
Identify Your Tracking Sources
List the pages you want to monitor per competitor: pricing page, blog RSS, press release page, LinkedIn page, and Product Hunt. This becomes your source list.
Tools
No catalog tool specified
Step 2
Set Up Change Monitoring
Use Zapier's RSS or web monitoring triggers to detect when any of these pages change or publish new content. Route all alerts to a central Airtable or Google Sheet log.
Step 3
Enrich with AI Analysis
For each new piece of competitor content detected, use Make to send it to Perplexity. Prompt: 'Summarize this competitor update and explain its strategic implications in 3 bullets.'
Step 4
Compile Weekly Digest
Every Friday, use Zapier's Digest to pull all that week's competitor alerts and summaries. Send to Claude to write a coherent competitive intelligence briefing.
Step 5
Share and Archive
Post the digest to a dedicated Slack channel and save it to Notion AI with the date tagged. Notion AI makes it searchable and summarizable over time.
Time Required
2 hrs setup / 0 min weekly
Expected Result
A weekly digest in your inbox or Notion summarizing every meaningful change your top 3–5 competitors made that week.
