Track and Receive Upwork Job Alerts via WhatsApp and Google Sheets

Short Description
Automatically scrape new Upwork job listings, save them to Google Sheets, and get real-time WhatsApp alerts when new matching jobs appear. This workflow helps freelancers and agencies track new opportunities instantly — without checking Upwork manually.

Who’s it for
For freelancers, agencies, and automation enthusiasts who want to monitor Upwork jobs automatically and receive instant notifications for relevant projects.

How it works
This workflow connects with RapidAPI to fetch new Upwork job listings, filters relevant ones, stores them in a Google Sheet, and sends WhatsApp alerts for matching results.
It includes:
Trigger node** for scheduled or webhook-based execution
HTTP Request node** connected to RapidAPI for scraping
Google Sheets node** to store job data
Filter (IF) node** to select relevant jobs
WhatsApp API node** to send alerts automatically

How to set up
Get an API key from RapidAPI and subscribe to an Upwork scraper API.
Create a Google Sheet with columns like Title, Budget, Category, Link, and Description.
Connect your Google account to n8n using Google Sheets credentials.
Set up your WhatsApp API endpoint (e.g., via Waha API or WhatsApp Cloud API).
Paste your API keys into the HTTP Request nodes and test the workflow.
Schedule the workflow to run automatically (e.g., every hour or once daily).

Requirements
RapidAPI account (for Upwork scraper API)
Google Sheets account
WhatsApp API access (Waha / Cloud API)
n8n cloud or self-hosted instance

How to customize
You can modify this workflow to:
Track specific job categories or keywords (e.g., “automation”, “AI”, “n8n”)
Send alerts to Telegram, Discord, or Slack instead of WhatsApp
Add budget or client rating filters for higher-quality job leads
Connect it with Airtable or Notion for advanced job tracking
