This workflow automates the process of monitoring flight prices and sending instant alerts for significant fare changes. It periodically fetches flight data from an aviation API, compares current fares with historical records stored in Google Sheets, and determines if there is a notable price drop or increase. When such changes occur, it formats detailed notifications and sends alerts via email, SMS, and Telegram. Additionally, it logs alert activities for tracking and analysis.
The workflow starts with a scheduled trigger that activates every 15 minutes. It then fetches the latest flight data (for example, flights from JFK to LAX), processes this data to extract key flight details, and compares the current fares against previously stored values in Google Sheets. If the fare change exceeds set thresholds (e.g., a drop of 10% or more, or an increase of 15% or more), it formats alert messages tailored for different platforms. Notifications are sent via email (using Gmail), SMS, and Telegram, notifying users of fare drops or increases. Finally, it logs all activities for audit purposes.
This automation is highly useful for travelers and travel agencies aiming to find the best flight deals quickly and efficiently, ensuring timely booking decisions based on real-time fare movements.
