Workflow Breakdown

1

Schedule & Fetch

Runs every 6 hours. The Schedule Trigger initiates the workflow. An HTTP Request node fetches raw job data from your target RSS feed or Job Board API (e.g., RemoteOK, Arbeitnow).

Parse & Filter

Raw data is normalized into clean objects (Title, Company, URL, Salary). A Keyword Filter then matches jobs against your configured target roles and locations, excluding unwanted terms.

Dedupe & Alert

Checks against a Google Sheet of previously seen jobs. If new, it logs the job for history and sends a formatted Telegram alert with all details and a direct apply link.

Setup Steps

1

Configure Schedule

Adjust the Schedule Trigger node. Default is every 6 hours, but set to 1 hour for active searches.

2

Set Job Source

Replace the URL in the HTTP Request node with your target RSS or API (e.g., RemoteOK, Arbeitnow, LinkedIn).

3

Define Keywords

Edit the Keyword Filter node arrays: targetRoles, targetLocations, and excludeTerms.

4

Connect Sheets

Create a sheet with columns: Title, Company, Location, URL, Salary, etc. Connect Google Sheets OAuth in both nodes.

5

Telegram Setup

Create a bot via @BotFather, get your token and Chat ID. Connect the credential and set the Chat ID in the alert node.

6

Test Run

Execute the workflow manually once to verify data flows correctly through parsing, filtering, and alerting.
