How to trigger a Bubble backend workflow when a website changes

Bubble is possibly the easiest way to build a web application completely visually. You can define your entire application logic visually, including backend workflows to add alerts to your website, insert or update data automatically.

Using Monitoro+Bubble, you can trigger any backend workflows when a website changes. Your workflow also receives the latest data from the website as parameters. How cool is that?

This guide explains how to setup an integration between Monitoro and Bubble and trigger backend workflows when the website you're monitoring has changed.

And you’re done! 🥳

Your Bubble workflow will be triggered every time the data you selected changes.

You can also refine the conditions in to only trigger the workflow if the price has increased for example, or if the availability changes, etc.

At this point, you're able to hook any website to a Bubble workflow. Make sure to try combinations of various conditions on Monitoro and workflows on Bubble.
