This workflow contains community nodes that are only compatible with the self-hosted version of n8n.

Overview

When applying for freelance jobs on Upwork, minutes matter. The first quality application is more often than not the one that's ultimately selected.

Subscribers to Upwork's Freelancer Plus receive email job alerts, but filters are very limited. As a result, it takes a lot of time to manually go through each email and determine if each job fits your criteria.

This workflow scans your Gmail every few minutes, finds all Upwork job alerts, scores them based on your profile/preferences, and sends a Slack channel message for jobs that are strong potential matches.

How it works

  1. Scans Gmail for Upwork job alerts every few minutes
  2. Extracts all available job data from each email
  3. Scores the job based on profile information and criteria you provide
  4. Sends a Slack notification for all jobs that meet a given score threshold

Disclaimers

  1. This workflow polls Gmail for new messages every 10 minutes. A workflow execution will be used each time, regardless of whether the Gmail scan finds anything. You may want to adjust this frequency based on the amount of workflow executions you want to use.
  2. The AI matching process is based only on the information included in the email body (job title, description snippet and metadata). It is against Upwork's Terms of Service to scrape a full job posting. Despite this, the quality of the results in our testing is high for most use cases.

Required Setup

  1. Subscribe to Upwork's Freelancer Plus plan to enable job alerts ($19.99/mo at the time of this posting)
  2. Create Gmail and Open Router (or an LLM provider of your choice) credentials and select them in the Gmail / LLM Model nodes
  3. Create a Slack app that has at least the chat:write.public and channels:read scopes, install it into your workspace, and use your apps OAuth Token to create a Slack API credential in n8n
  4. IMPORTANT: In the "Opportuntity Scorer" node, replace the text in between the <my_profile> tags with your freelancer bio. For best results, include as much detail as possible about your skillset, experience, tool familiarity, and job preferences.
  5. Update the filter with your notification threshold preference(s) and update the Slack channel to send notifications to in the last Slack node

Gmail to Slack AI-Scored Upwork Job Alerts

This n8n workflow automates the process of receiving Upwork job alerts from Gmail, extracting key information, scoring them using an AI model, and posting the relevant, high-scoring jobs to a Slack channel. It helps freelancers quickly identify and act on promising job opportunities without manually sifting through emails.

What it does

  1. Triggers on new Gmail emails: Listens for new emails in your Gmail inbox that match specific criteria (e.g., from Upwork, with "Job Alert" in the subject).
  2. Extracts Job Information: Uses an AI-powered Information Extractor to parse the email content and extract structured data about the Upwork job, such as title, description, budget, skills, etc.
  3. Scores Job Relevance with AI: Leverages the OpenRouter Chat Model to evaluate the extracted job details and assign a relevance score based on predefined criteria or a custom prompt.
  4. Filters by Score: Checks the AI-generated score and only proceeds with jobs that meet a minimum relevance threshold.
  5. Formats for Slack: Converts the structured job data and score into a human-readable Markdown message.
  6. Posts to Slack: Sends the formatted job alert to a designated Slack channel, including the AI score.

Synchronizing WooCommerce inventory and creating products with Google Gemini AI and BrowserAct

Synchronize WooCommerce Inventory & Create Products with Gemini AI & BrowserAct This sophisticated n8n template automates WooCommerce inventory management by scraping supplier data, updating existing products, and intelligently creating new ones with AI-formatted descriptions. This workflow is essential for e-commerce operators, dropshippers, and inventory managers who need to ensure their product pricing and stock levels are synchronized with multiple third-party suppliers, minimizing overselling and maximizing profit. --- Self-Hosted Only This Workflow uses a community contribution and is designed and tested for self-hosted n8n instances only. --- How it works The workflow is typically run by a Schedule Trigger (though a Manual Trigger is also shown) to check stock automatically. It reads a list of suppliers and their inventory page URLs from a central Google Sheet. The workflow loops through each supplier: A BrowserAct node scrapes the current stock and price data from the supplier's inventory page. A Code node parses this bulk data into individual product items. It then loops through each individual product found. The workflow checks WooCommerce to see if the product already exists based on its name. If the product exists: It proceeds to update the existing product's price and stock quantity. If the product DOES NOT exist: An If node checks if the missing product's category matches a predefined type (optional filtering). If it passes the filter, a second BrowserAct workflow scrapes detailed product attributes from a dedicated product page (e.g., DigiKey). An AI Agent (Gemini) transforms these attributes into a specific, styled HTML table for the product description. Finally, the product is created in WooCommerce with all scraped details and the AI-generated description. Error Handling: Multiple Slack nodes are configured to alert your team immediately if any scraping task fails or if the product update/creation process encounters an issue. Note: This workflow does not support image uploads for new products. To enable this functionality, you must modify both the n8n and BrowserAct workflows. --- Requirements BrowserAct API account for web scraping BrowserAct n8n Community Node -&gt; (n8n Nodes BrowserAct) BrowserAct templates named “WooCommerce Inventory & Stock Synchronization” and “WooCommerce Product Data Reconciliation” Google Sheets credentials for the supplier list WooCommerce credentials for product management Google Gemini account for the AI Agent Slack credentials for error alerts --- Need Help?
