Get new property opportunities to your sales team fast. The workflow scans market data on a schedule, spots new or changed properties, and sends only the best leads to email and Slack. It is built for real estate sales and acquisitions teams that want quick action on high potential properties.

A schedule trigger starts a search against the BatchData API. Results are compared to the last run using stored data so only true changes move forward. Properties are split into single items, filtered by clear rules like equity percent and absentee owner, and then enriched with a detail lookup. The content is formatted with a Google Maps link and delivered by email and Slack so the team can act right away without digging for facts. Change detection reduces noise and keeps attention on fresh leads.

Setup is simple. Add a BatchData API key, Slack credentials, and SMTP email details. Adjust city, state, and price ranges in the configuration, and tune the filter to match your buying box. Expect faster prospecting, less manual research, and quicker outreach in hot markets like acquisitions, wholesaling, or brokerage teams.

• Scheduled scans run every set number of hours to keep data fresh

• Detail lookup fetches full property records for richer context
• Email formatting builds clear subjects, summaries, and Google Maps links
• Multi channel alerts send to both email and Slack for fast response

• Reduce manual market research from 2 hours to 10 minutes per day
• Automate 80 percent of daily lead scanning and sorting
• Improve data accuracy by pulling details directly from the API
• Handle 5 times more property leads without adding headcount
• Connect BatchData and Slack so the team never misses a hot lead

1. Import the template into n8n: Create a new workflow in n8n > Click the three dots menu > Select 'Import from File' > Choose the downloaded JSON file.
2. You'll need accounts with BatchData and Slack. See the Tools Required section above for links to create accounts with these services.
3. In the n8n credentials manager, create a new HTTP Header Auth credential for BatchData. Add your API key from the BatchData account API page and name the credential clearly, for example BatchData API Key.
4. Open the BatchData API Configuration node and set searchParameters like city, state, minimumMarketValue, and equityPercent. Make sure apiKey is mapped or passed via the header credential.
5. Open the Query BatchData Properties HTTP Request node. In Credential to connect with, select your BatchData credential. Confirm the method is POST and the URL matches the search endpoint.
6. Set the schedule in the Schedule Market Scan node. Choose an interval in hours that fits your market speed, such as every 4 hours.
7. Adjust the Filter High Potential node. Tune equity thresholds, owner type, or any other condition to match your buying criteria.
8. Configure the Get Property Details HTTP Request node to use the same BatchData credential so detail lookups succeed.
9. Set up email delivery. Open the Send Email Alert node and create a new SMTP credential. Enter your SMTP host, port, username, password, and TLS settings from your email provider. Update from and to addresses.
10. Authorize Slack. Open the Slack node, click Create new credential, and follow the on screen steps to grant access. Choose the target channel for alerts.
11. Run a manual test. Execute the workflow once, then check Slack and your inbox for messages. If you see no leads, relax the filter or confirm the search parameters return results.
12. Troubleshoot common issues. If Slack fails, check channel permissions. If emails do not arrive, verify SMTP settings and spam filters. If API calls rate limit, increase the schedule interval.
