Send a formatted message to #competitive-intel whenever a competitor moves. Combine with Slack's Block Kit for rich formatting.
Get a text message for high-priority monitors. Ideal for flash sale detection during BFCM or limited-time competitor promotions.
Push competitor pricing data into HubSpot or Salesforce. Keep your sales team informed with real-time pricing intelligence on each account.
Automatically create a task when a competitor drops prices. Assign to your pricing team so no change goes unreviewed.
Aggregate price changes and send a daily or weekly email summary to stakeholders via Gmail or Mailchimp.
How to connect DiffScout to Zapier
Three steps. No code. Under 5 minutes.
Upgrade to the Business plan if you haven't already. Go to Settings > Integrations > Webhooks. This is where you'll paste the Zapier webhook URL in step 3.
In Zapier, click "Create Zap". For the trigger, search for "Webhooks by Zapier" and select "Catch Hook". Zapier generates a unique webhook URL — copy it. Then configure your action (Google Sheets, Slack, Twilio, etc.).
Back in DiffScout, paste the Zapier webhook URL into your webhook settings. Click "Test" to send a sample payload. Zapier receives it, you map the fields to your action, and you're live.
Total setup time: ~5 minutes. After that, every price change DiffScout detects is automatically pushed to Zapier and routed to whichever app you configured.
Webhook payload Zapier receives
Every price change sends this JSON. Zapier auto-parses each field so you can map them to any action.
Full webhook documentation available in the Webhooks integration guide.
Frequently asked questions
How do I connect DiffScout to Zapier?
DiffScout connects to Zapier through webhooks. On the DiffScout Business plan, enable webhooks in Settings > Integrations. In Zapier, create a new Zap and choose "Webhooks by Zapier" as the trigger. Select "Catch Hook", copy the webhook URL Zapier gives you, and paste it into DiffScout as your webhook destination. Every time DiffScout detects a price change, it sends a JSON payload to that URL and Zapier takes it from there.
What data does the DiffScout webhook send to Zapier?
Each webhook payload includes: monitorId (unique identifier), url (the page being tracked), productName (the tier or variant), oldPrice, newPrice, percentChange, currency, timestamp (ISO 8601), and screenshotUrl (link to the before/after screenshot). Zapier automatically parses this JSON so you can map each field to downstream actions.
What apps can I connect DiffScout to through Zapier?
Zapier supports 5,000+ apps. Popular workflows include logging price changes to Google Sheets, posting alerts to Slack or Microsoft Teams, sending SMS via Twilio, updating CRM records in HubSpot or Salesforce, creating tasks in Trello or Asana, and sending custom email digests through Gmail or Mailchimp.
Do I need a Business plan to use the Zapier integration?
Yes. Webhooks are a Business plan feature ($99/month). The free and Pro ($49/month) plans include email alerts but not outgoing webhooks. The Business plan also includes 30-minute check frequency, unlimited monitors, and API access.
Can I trigger multiple Zaps from a single DiffScout alert?
Yes. You can add multiple webhook URLs to a single DiffScout monitor. Each price change fires all configured webhooks simultaneously. So you could have one Zap logging to Google Sheets and another posting to Slack — both triggered by the same price change event.
