Hi poman,

Yes, you can.

In order for the workflow to run every day at a specified time, you can use Schedules in Orchestrator.

You have an example of scraping a sales website in the following post(and also adding a new column with the new scraped results). Hope it helps:

Data Scraping saleswebsites

Hi @Suryoyo95! Indeed I couldn’t scrape the exact results that you wanted(price&date) only using DataScraping. What I’ve been able to do is scrape the price and URL from the list page and then take each property’s URL(using For each row), open it and get the date separately. Then add a column named “PostedDate”. It’s not a very optimal solution and I’ve only tested with 5-10 MaxNumberOfResults, but I think it gives you a start. test.xaml (17.4 KB)

Hi,
Would you please share the Excel about website shopping automatically? I’m interested on this and looking for some examples. Many thanks.
