Watch out for

Competitor websites often block automated scrapers so you must configure Bright Data with rotating residential proxies and respect robots.txt policies.
LLM token limits can truncate long analysis outputs so keep your prompt concise and request structured JSON responses to ensure reliable parsing.
Slack API rate limits may block bulk alerts during peak times so add exponential backoff logic to retry failed message sends gracefully.
Google Sheets row insertion failures can cause data loss so implement error handling that logs failed attempts to a separate error sheet for manual review.
