The Set Configuration node holds the competitor URL, brand name, and Zalo Chat ID.\n3. Firecrawl scrapes the competitor page with JavaScript rendering and anti-bot bypass, returning clean markdown.\n4. Google Gemini summarizes key updates in Vietnamese (max 200 words, bullet points).\n5. The formatted alert with competitor name, URL, and timestamp is sent to your Zalo Bot conversation.\n\n### Setup steps\n- [ ] Self-hosted n8n required (community nodes cannot be installed on n8n Cloud)\n- [ ] Install community nodes `n8n-nodes-firecrawl-v2` and `n8n-nodes-zalo-platform` via **Settings > Community Nodes**\n- [ ] Create a Firecrawl API credential (Cloud or self-hosted)\n- [ ] Create a Zalo Bot credential from **Zalo Bot Manager** in the Zalo app\n- [ ] Create a Google Gemini credential (free tier from [Google AI Studio](https://aistudio.google.com))\n- [ ] Update the **Set Configuration** node with your competitor URL, brand name, and Zalo Chat ID\n- [ ] Activate the workflow\n\n### Customization\n- Add multiple competitors by looping over an array of URLs\n- Swap Gemini for OpenAI, Claude, or any local LLM\n- Save history to Google Sheets to track changes over time\n- Add a diff check to only alert when content actually changes\n- Send alerts to multiple Zalo recipients or groups\n\n### Need help?\n- [Firecrawl node guide](https://thenexova.com/n8n-firecrawl-node-web-scraping-crawling-and-ai-extraction-guide/)\n- [Zalo Bot node guide](https://thenexova.com/n8n-zalo-bot-node-complete-setup-and-operations-guide/)"
