Automate Upwork Job Discovery and Notifications
detail.loadingPreview
This workflow automatically scans Upwork for new job postings based on your specified criteria. It then checks for duplicates in your MongoDB database and sends new, unique opportunities directly to your Slack channel, ensuring you never miss a relevant project.
About This Workflow
Streamline your freelance job search with this powerful n8n workflow designed to automate the discovery of Upwork job opportunities. The workflow begins by defining the search parameters, including specific job titles like 'Python' and 'Java' and desired proxy locations, ensuring targeted results. It then leverages an external API to efficiently scrape Upwork for fresh job postings. Before storing or notifying, the workflow intelligently checks for existing entries in your MongoDB database based on job title and budget, preventing duplicates. Finally, new and unique job listings are saved to MongoDB and instantly broadcasted to a designated Slack channel with all essential details, from title and budget to project length and skills.
