Track freelance jobs from Apify and get instant WhatsApp alerts for new leads

Automatically track new freelance job postings from any platform using Apify Actors, process the results, and get real-time WhatsApp alerts for new opportunities.
This workflow saves jobs to Google Sheets for record-keeping and sends instant notifications so you never miss a client lead.

Who’s it for

Freelancers, agencies, and business developers who want to monitor platforms like Upwork, Fiverr, or Freelancer for new jobs — without checking manually.

How it works

1. The workflow starts when a chat message or trigger event is received.
2. It runs an Apify Actor to scrape job listings from your target platform.
3. The dataset results are fetched via Apify’s API.
4. A JavaScript Code node processes and filters the results for relevant jobs.
5. The data is saved to Google Sheets for tracking and reporting.
6. A formatted job summary is created and sent as a WhatsApp message directly to your phone.

How to set up

1. Create or use an Apify Actor for scraping job listings from your chosen site.
2. Connect your Apify API token in n8n under credentials.
3. Link your Google Sheets account and specify the sheet for storing job data.
4. Add your WhatsApp Cloud API or Twilio WhatsApp credentials.
5. Test the workflow by sending a trigger message — new jobs will be fetched, stored, and sent to WhatsApp.
