Only truly new jobs continue.\n6. **Log to Sheet** saves every new job to Google Sheets for tracking and history.\n7. **Telegram Alert** sends a formatted message with job details and a direct apply link.\n\n### Setup steps\n1. **Schedule** \u2014 Adjust the interval in the Schedule Trigger (default: every 6 hours).\n2. **Job Source URL** \u2014 Replace the URL in the HTTP Request node with your target RSS feed or API. Examples:\n - RemoteOK: `https://remoteok.com/api`\n - Arbeitnow: `https://www.arbeitnow.com/api/job-board-api`\n - Any RSS feed from LinkedIn, Indeed, etc.\n3. **Keywords** \u2014 Edit `targetRoles`, `targetLocations`, and `excludeTerms` arrays in the Keyword Filter node.\n4. **Google Sheets** \u2014 Connect your credential and set the spreadsheet ID in both Sheet nodes. Create columns: Title, Company name, Location, Url, Description, Posted date, Salary, Matched Role, Scraped date.\n5. **Telegram** \u2014 Create a bot via @BotFather, get your Chat ID, and connect the Telegram credential.\n6. **Test** \u2014 Run manually once to verify jobs flow through correctly.\n\n### Customization\n- Add multiple HTTP Request nodes for different job boards and merge results.\n- Change cron to every 1 hour for high-priority searches.\n- Add salary range filtering in the keyword filter.\n- Replace Telegram with Slack, Discord, WhatsApp, or email.\n- Add an AI node to score/rank jobs by relevance before alerting." }, "typeVersion": 1 }, { "id": "a5815a2d-045f-4106-813d-d08f04d6febb", "name": "Sticky Note - Data Source", "type": "n8n-nodes-base.stickyNote", "position": [ 928, 912 ], "parameters": { "color": 6, "width": 520, "height": 240, "content": "## \ud83d\udce5 Data Source\nSchedule trigger + HTTP request to fetch job posts from RSS/API" }, "typeVersion": 1 }, { "id": "a8dcbb02-4ccb-4669-8b9e-d8352a2636ff", "name": "Sticky Note - Parse Filter", "type": "n8n-nodes-base.stickyNote", "position": [ 1472, 912 ], "parameters": { "color": 6, "width": 540, "height": 240, "content": "## \ud83d\udd0d Parse & Filter\nExtract job fields, then filter by keywords, location, and role" }, "typeVersion": 1 }, { "id": "badff48d-3b8b-44fe-8d77-4637020a7c33", "name": "Sticky Note - Deduplicate", "type": "n8n-nodes-base.stickyNote", "position": [ 2176, 832 ], "parameters": { "color": 6, "width": 464, "height": 240, "content": "## \ud83e\uddf9 Deduplicate & Log\nCheck against previously seen jobs, save new ones to Google Sheets" }, "typeVersion": 1 }, { "id": "25c2ccb0-d793-4486-8e9f-e770362be22e", "name": "Sticky Note - Alerts", "type": "n8n-nodes-base.stickyNote", "position": [ 2864, 784 ], "parameters": { "color": 6, "width": 540, "height": 240, "content": "## \ud83d\udce3 Alerts\nSend formatted job notifications to Telegram with apply links" }, "typeVersion": 1 }, { "id": "27446981-2b9f-4c8f-a45a-8fd035d3c4d7", "name": "Sticky Note - Warning URL", "type": "n8n-nodes-base.stickyNote", "position": [ 1504, 1200 ], "parameters": { "color": 3, "width": 280, "height": 156, "content": "## \u26a0\ufe0f Replace with your job board URL\nUpdate the HTTP Request URL to your target RSS feed or API.
