N8N + Browser Use Cloud

TL;DR – In 3 minutes you can have an n8n workflow that:

Shows a form asking for a competitor’s name

Starts a Browser Use task that crawls the web and extracts pricing, jobs, new features & announcements

Waits for the task to finish via a webhook

Formats the output and drops a rich message into Slack

You can grab the workflow JSON below – copy it and import it into n8n, plug in your API keys and hit Execute 🚀.

Why use Browser Use in n8n?

• Autonomous browsing – Browser Use opens pages like a real user (using Playwright + Chromium), follows links, clicks buttons and reads DOM content. • Structured output – You tell the agent exactly which fields you need. No brittle regex or XPaths. • Scales effortlessly – Kick off hundreds of tasks and monitor them through the Cloud API. n8n glues everything together so your team gets the data instantly—no Python scripts or CRON jobs needed.

Prerequisites

Browser Use Cloud API key – grab one from your Billing page.
n8n instance – self-hosted or n8n.cloud. (The screenshots below use n8n 1.45+.)
Slack Incoming Webhook URL – create one in your Slack workspace.

Add both secrets to n8n’s credential manager:

.env example

BROWSER_USE_API_KEY="sk-…"
SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL="https://hooks.slack.com/services/…"

Import the template

Copy the workflow JSON below to your clipboard.
In n8n click Import → From Clipboard and paste the JSON.
Hit Import
Replace the Browser-Use API Key credential and Slack webhook URL credential with yours.

How the workflow works

1. `Form Trigger` – collect the competitor’s name

A public n8n form with a single required field. When a user submits, the workflow fires instantly.

2. `HTTP Request – Browser Use Run Task`

We POST to /api/v1/run-task with the following body:

run-task payload

{
  "task": "Do exhaustive research on {{ $json[\"Competitor Name\"] }} and extract all pricing information, job postings, new features and announcements",
  "save_browser_data": true,
  "structured_output_json": {
    "pricing": {"plans": ["string"], "prices": ["string"], "features": ["string"]},
    "jobs": {"titles": ["string"], "departments": ["string"], "locations": ["string"]},
    "new_features": {"titles": ["string"], "description": ["string"]},
    "announcements": {"titles": ["string"], "description": ["string"]}
  },
  "metadata": {"source": "n8n-competitor-demo"}
}

Important bits: • structured_output_json tells the agent which keys to return – no post-processing required. • We tag the task with metadata.source so the webhook can filter only our jobs.

3. `Webhook` + `IF` – wait for task completion

Browser Use sends a webhook when anything happens to a task (see our Webhooks guide for setup details). We expose an n8n Webhook node at /get-research-data and let the agent call it. We only proceed when both conditions are true:

payload.status == "finished"
payload.metadata.source == "n8n-competitor-demo"

4. `Get Task Details`

The webhook body includes the session_id. We fetch the full task record so we get the output field containing the structured JSON from step 2.

5. `Code – Generate Slack message`

A short JS snippet turns the JSON into a nicely-formatted Slack block with emojis and bullet points. Feel free to tweak the formatting.

6. `HTTP Request – Send to Slack`

Finally we POST the message to your incoming webhook and celebrate 🎉.

Customize as you want

This workflow is just the starting point – Browser Use + n8n gives you endless possibilities. Here are some ideas:

Want to…	How to do it
Extract different data	Edit `structured_output_json` to specify exactly what fields you need (pricing, reviews, contact info, etc.) and adjust the JS formatter.
Send to Teams/Email/Notion	Swap the last Slack node for Teams, Gmail, or any of n8n’s 400+ connectors.
Run automatically	Replace the Form trigger with a Cron trigger for daily/weekly competitor monitoring.
Monitor multiple competitors	Use a Google Sheets trigger with a list of companies and loop through them.
Add AI analysis	Pipe the extracted data through OpenAI/Claude to generate insights and summaries.
Create alerts	Set up conditional logic to only notify when competitors announce new features or price changes.
Build a dashboard	Send data to Airtable, Notion, or Google Sheets to build a real-time competitor intelligence dashboard.

The beauty of Browser Use is that it handles the complex web browsing while you focus on building the perfect workflow for your needs.
