Setup Steps
1. Config: Add your hotel + competitor hotels (IDs/names) in the Config node.

2. Monitor Window: Set how far ahead you want to monitor (e.g., daysAhead = 30) in the Config node.

3. Sensitivity: Set how sensitive alerts should be (e.g., alert only if competitor moves > 10%) in the Significant Competitor Change node.

4. Connect Credentials:

Amadeus (to fetch hotel prices)
WhatsApp (to send alerts)
Postgres/SQL (to store price snapshots, history, summary)
OpenAI (for the AI Agents)

5. Event Source: Update the Fetch VCC nodes to scrape your local convention center or event site.

6. Run a test:

Trigger Workflow A manually and confirm you receive a WhatsApp alert.

Reply to that WhatsApp message to test Workflow B (Q&A).
