Amazon Licensing Business — Weekly Intelligence System
The Job
Build an automated n8n system that pulls our Amazon Ads data, product catalog (stored in ClickUp), and BSR tracking (from Amazon.com), analyzes it with Claude AI, and delivers weekly actionable reports to three team members via Slack.
Platform: n8n Cloud Pro
Timeline: 3 weeks
Budget: $1,500 — $3,000 USD (fixed price preferred, phased payment)
The Business
We run an Amazon Merch on Demand business from the UK but operate in the US, that has 10’s of thousands of products in our catalog ~7,400 live products. Our ad spend is 48.3% of revenue against a 40% target — that gap costs us ~$37K/year. We need a system that finds the waste and opportunities we’re missing.
Key numbers:
-
$219K/year ad spend across thousands of campaigns
-
$2.67 average royalty per sale (at $16.99 price point)
-
$3.12 average ad cost per order (ads lose money without organic lift)
-
595 products drive 80% of sales — the rest need pruning or repricing, we need a way to track the products that are really driving revenue for us and to cut the others
Key constraint: Amazon Merch has no Selling Partner API. However, the Amazon Advertising API IS available, and Keepa provides BSR/price tracking for Amazon.com + we have our product catalog stored in ClickUp so it should be possible to create a system that can check our catalog in ClickUp > Amazon.com and Amazon Ads.
What You’ll Build
3 Sub-Workflows → 3 Slack Channels
1. Ad Waste Detector → Slack #ads-actions (for our PPC manager)
-
Daily: Flag critical waste — campaigns with 10+ clicks / 0 orders, ACoS > 40%
-
Weekly: Deep analysis — total wasted spend breakdown, budget pacing, scaling opportunities, Top 5 actions ranked by dollar impact
-
Data source: Amazon Advertising API
2. Pricing Optimizer → Slack #listings-tasks (for our listings manager)
-
Weekly: Scan catalog for underpriced bestsellers and overpriced dead stock
-
Flag designs at $13.38 ($0 royalty) that have BSR traction and should be $16.99
-
Flag market leaders at $16.99 that should be $19.99
-
Include holiday price-lock warnings (Amazon can lock low prices into deals)
-
Data sources: Keepa API + Amazon Ads API + ClickUp API
3. Performance Tracker → Slack #ceo-brief (for me)
-
Weekly Monday morning brief: One-sentence health verdict, key metrics vs last week, what’s working, what’s bleeding, top 3 actions this week
-
AI-generated strategic analysis using Claude Sonnet
-
Data sources: All of the above + weekly royalty CSV upload
