Monitor X/Twitter for hiring posts with Apify, AI filtering & Telegram alerts
Automatically scrape X (Twitter) for posts hiring specific roles (e.g., automation engineers, video editors, graphic designers), filter true hiring intent with AI, deduplicate in Google Sheets, and alert via Telegram.
What it does
-
Pulls recent X/Twitter posts for multiple role keywords via Apify.
-
Normalizes each post (text, author, links, location).
-
Uses an AI Agent to keep only posts where the author is hiring (not self-promo).
-
Checks Google Sheets for duplicates by URL before saving.
-
Writes qualified posts to a sheet and sends a Telegram notification.
We are using n8n automation roles as the example here
How it works (Step by Step)
-
Schedule Trigger – Runs on an interval (currently every 12 hours).
-
Scrape X/Twitter – Apify tweet-scraper fetches up to 50 latest posts for keywords like: n8n developer, looking for n8n, n8n expert, hire AI automation, looking for AI automation.
-
Normalize Fields – Set node maps to: url, text, author.userName, author.url, author.location.
-
AI Filter & Dedupe Check
- Accept only clear hiring posts for n8n/AI automation roles (reject self-promotion).
- Queries Google Sheets to see if url already exists; duplicates are dropped.
-
Gate – IF node passes only non-empty AI outputs.
-
Parse JSON Safely – Code node extracts/validates JSON from the AI output.
-
Save to Google Sheets – Appends/updates a row (matching on url).
-
Telegram Alert – Sends a message with the tweet URL, author, location, and text.
Who it’s for
Freelancers, agencies, and job seekers who want a steady radar of real hiring posts for their target roles.
Customization Ideas
Swap keywords to track other roles (video editors, designers, copywriters, etc.).
Add Slack/Discord notifications.
Extend the AI rules (e.g., different geographies or role scopes).
Treat the sheet as a mini-CRM (status, outreach date, notes).
n8n Workflow: Monitor X (Twitter) for Hiring Posts with Apify AI Filtering & Telegram Alerts
This n8n workflow automates the process of finding relevant hiring posts on X (formerly Twitter), filtering them using an AI agent, and sending alerts to a Telegram channel. It's designed to help recruiters, job seekers, or anyone interested in specific hiring trends to stay updated without manual monitoring.
What it does
This workflow performs the following key steps:
- Schedules Execution: The workflow runs on a predefined schedule (e.g., daily, hourly) to continuously monitor for new posts.
- Fetches Data from Google Sheets: It reads a list of search queries or keywords from a Google Sheet. These queries are used to search for hiring-related posts on X.
- Scrapes X (Twitter) with Apify: For each query from the Google Sheet, it uses an HTTP Request node to trigger an Apify actor (presumably a Twitter scraper) to fetch recent posts matching the criteria.
- Filters Posts with an AI Agent: The scraped posts are then passed to an AI Agent (likely powered by LangChain and OpenAI). This agent analyzes the content of each post to determine if it's a genuine hiring post or relevant to the specified criteria.
- Conditional Processing: An "If" node checks the output of the AI Agent. If the AI determines a post is relevant, it proceeds to the next step.
- Formats Data: A "Set" node (Edit Fields) is used to format the relevant post data into a clean, readable structure for the alert message.
- Sends Telegram Alert: For each relevant hiring post, a notification is sent to a specified Telegram chat, providing details about the post.
Prerequisites/Requirements
To use this workflow, you will need:
- n8n Instance: A running n8n instance.
- Google Sheets Account: A Google Sheet containing your search queries for X (Twitter).
- Apify Account: An Apify account with access to a Twitter/X scraper actor and its API key.
- OpenAI API Key: An OpenAI API key for the AI Chat Model used by the LangChain AI Agent.
- Telegram Bot Token and Chat ID: A Telegram bot token and the chat ID of the channel or group where you want to receive alerts.
- n8n Credentials: Appropriate credentials configured in n8n for Google Sheets, HTTP Request (for Apify), OpenAI, and Telegram.
Setup/Usage
- Import the Workflow: Download the JSON provided and import it into your n8n instance.
- Configure Credentials:
- Google Sheets: Set up your Google Sheets credential. Ensure your spreadsheet has a column for search queries.
- HTTP Request (Apify): Configure the HTTP Request node to call your Apify actor. You will need your Apify API key and the actor's ID. The request body should dynamically include the search query from the Google Sheet.
- OpenAI Chat Model: Set up your OpenAI credential with your API key.
- Telegram: Configure your Telegram credential with your bot token and the target chat ID.
- Customize Google Sheet: Create a Google Sheet with a column (e.g., "Query") containing the keywords or phrases you want to monitor on X (e.g., "hiring software engineer", "job opening remote", "we are looking for").
- Configure AI Agent: Review and adjust the prompt or instructions for the "AI Agent" node to fine-tune its filtering logic for what constitutes a "hiring post" for your specific needs.
- Customize Telegram Message: Adjust the "Telegram" node to format the alert message as desired, including relevant details from the filtered X post.
- Activate the Workflow: Once configured, activate the workflow. It will run according to the schedule defined in the "Schedule Trigger" node.
