Think IFTTT or Zapier, but self-hosted and unlimited. The official Docker image bundles the web interface, the background scheduler and the agent runner in a single container backed by a PostgreSQL 16 database. You build scenarios graphically: a Website Agent extracts a field from a page, a Trigger Agent fires when a value crosses a threshold, an Email Agent sends the alert. Huginn stores every event — prices tracked, content changes, API responses — and replays them for debugging. No per-execution billing, no workflow caps: the only ceiling is your VPS RAM.",[23,24,25,26,27,28],"Website Agent — CSS\u002FXPath scraping, change detection and threshold triggers on any public web page.","Event-driven chaining — every agent produces events that downstream agents consume, enabling multi-step automations.","Email, webhook, Slack and Telegram actions — built-in agents for all major notification channels.","RSS\u002FAtom aggregation — merge multiple feeds into a single unified event stream.","Dry Run mode — preview the events an agent would produce before activating its schedule.","No execution limits — unlimited agents and checks, constrained only by your VPS CPU and RAM.",[30,33,36],{"title":31,"body":32},"Price drop alerts","Create a Website Agent that extracts a product price from a retailer page using a CSS selector, chain it to a Trigger Agent that fires when the price drops below your target, and terminate at an Email Agent.
