Automated Competitor Monitoring with CrunchBase and ClickUp

This n8n workflow streamlines the process of tracking competitor updates by integrating Crunchbase and ClickUp for real-time alerts and task management. The automated system begins with a manual trigger allowing for flexible testing, where you set the competitor’s name manually. The workflow then transforms this name into a URL-friendly slug suitable for accessing the Crunchbase API.

Next, it makes a real-time API request to Crunchbase using the generated slug to retrieve key company data such as funding, recent updates, description, and homepage link. This information is then used to automatically create a review task in ClickUp, ensuring your team stays informed and can quickly act on new developments.

This workflow is ideal for competitive intelligence teams, business analysts, or startups wanting to maintain an up-to-date overview of key competitors without manual research. It simplifies continuous monitoring, making data-driven decisions faster and more efficient.
