Overview
Takes a list of product candidates and, for each one, checks Amazon pricing and reviews, Walmart availability, YouTube review sentiment, and Reddit complaint volume. Outputs a ranked shortlist with an opportunity score so new dropshippers skip the ones with hidden quality or saturation problems.
Trigger
Manual or cron (weekly)
Schedule
Runs weekly on Sundays
Workflow Steps
Load candidate list
Read product names from a CSV or a TikTok trend scraper output.
Amazon lookup
Pull top listing, price, review count, and average rating.
Walmart lookup
Check availability and retail price for margin math.
YouTube review scan
Count reviews in the last 30 days and pull top video sentiment.
Reddit complaint scan
Search Reddit for product name + complaint phrases to detect quality issues.
Score and rank
Combine signals into an opportunity score and export a CSV shortlist.
