What the API covers: bouncewatch.com/products/data-enrichment-api\n\nWalk into a call knowing what has moved at the account since anyone last looked. This workflow rescans one company, pulls its dated timeline, and emails it to you as a short brief.\n\n### How it works\n\nA morning schedule starts the run. A Settings node holds the company domain and how far back the brief should reach. The Bounce Watch node queues a fresh scan of that company, then polls the scan until it reports finished \u2014 polling is free and it waits for you. Once the scan has landed, the timeline is pulled and the email node sends it. Each line carries the event, its date and, where the date records when we measured a change rather than when it happened, a marker saying so.\n\n### Setup\n\n1. Get an API key at bouncewatch.com/register/api. It is free, no card, and every new account starts with 2,500 credits. Paste it into the Bounce Watch credential.\n2. Put the company domain into Meeting settings.\n3. Fill in the From and To addresses on the email node and pick your SMTP credential.\n\nA rescan spends credits; polling its status and reading the timeline afterwards is cheap. An empty run means nothing matched the filters, not that those companies were quiet.\n\n### Customization tips\n\nDrive the domain from a calendar entry, a CRM record or a form instead of the Settings node, and the same brief lands for whichever account you are about to meet.", "height": 1000, "width": 520 }, "type": "n8n-nodes-base.stickyNote", "typeVersion": 1, "position": [ -380, -120 ], "id": "sticky-overview", "name": "Sticky Note" }, { "parameters": { "content": "## Point it at a company\n\nOne domain, one lookback window.\nSwap this node for a calendar or CRM feed later.", "height": 300, "width": 440, "color": 7 }, "type": "n8n-nodes-base.stickyNote", "typeVersion": 1, "position": [ 150, -170 ], "id": "sticky-section-1", "name": "Section 1" }, { "parameters": { "content": "## Refresh what we hold\n\nQueue a scan, then wait for it.\nPolling the status costs nothing.", "height": 300, "width": 440, "color": 7 }, "type": "n8n-nodes-base.stickyNote", "typeVersion": 1, "position": [ 630, -170 ], "id": "sticky-section-2", "name": "Section 2" }, { "parameters": { "content": "## Build and send the brief\n\nThe dated timeline, newest first.\nDates are printed as stamps, not claims.", "height": 300, "width": 440, "color": 7 }, "type": "n8n-nodes-base.stickyNote", "typeVersion": 1, "position": [ 1110, -170 ], "id": "sticky-section-3", "name": "Section 3" }, { "parameters": { "rule": { "interval": [ { "field": "days", "triggerAtHour": 7 } ] } }, "id": "bw0009-0000-4000-8000-000000000009", "name": "Every weekday morning", "type": "n8n-nodes-base.scheduleTrigger", "typeVersion": 1.3, "position": [ 220, 0 ] }, { "parameters": { "options": {}, "assignments": { "assignments": [ { "id": "as0010-0000-4000-8000-000000000010", "name": "company_domain", "type": "string", "value": "example.com" }, { "id": "as0011-0000-4000-8000-000000000011", "name": "lookback_days", "type": "number", "value": "={{ 90 }}" } ] } }, "id": "bw0012-0000-4000-8000-000000000012", "name": "Meeting settings", "type": "n8n-nodes-base.set", "typeVersion": 3.4, "position": [ 460, 0 ], "notes": "The company you are meeting, and how far back the brief should reach." }, { "parameters": { "resource": "company", "operation": "refresh", "domain": "={{ $json.company_domain }}" }, "id": "bw0013-0000-4000-8000-000000000013", "name": "Queue a fresh scan", "type": "n8n-nodes-bouncewatch.bounceWatch", "typeVersion": 1, "position": [ 700, 0 ], "credentials": { "bounceWatchApi": { "name": "" } }, "notes": "Spends credits.
