Every morning the Schedule Trigger starts the workflow.\n2. The **Settings** node holds your job searches (e.g. `data engineer in Austin, TX`), the country and how many jobs per search.\n3. The **Google Jobs Scraper** Actor on Apify (`plainrows/google-jobs-scraper`) runs with **Only new jobs** on: it remembers the jobs it already delivered, so each run returns (and bills) only new postings, with title, company, location, salary (parsed min/max/period), posting date, the site it comes from (LinkedIn, Indeed, company career pages...) and the apply link.\n4. A Code node formats the new jobs (a job found by two searches is kept once) and they are appended to the `Jobs` tab.\n\n### Requirements\n- An Apify account (free plan available) and its API token.\n- A Google Sheets account and a spreadsheet with a `Jobs` tab (headers are filled on the first run).\n- The Apify node is the verified community node `@apify/n8n-nodes-apify` (available on n8n Cloud; on self-hosted n8n install it from Settings > Community nodes).\n\n### How to customize\n- Edit `queries` (one search per line), `country` and `monitorName` in **Settings**. Use a new `monitorName` to start a fresh history.\n- Add a Slack or Gmail node after *Format new jobs* to get an alert for each new posting.\n- Filter on `salaryMin` or `company` in the Code node.\n\nPricing: pay per new job returned; searches with nothing new are free.", "height": 760, "width": 520 }, "id": "0d531b25-2b7f-5b78-b863-97bff73964d3", "name": "Description", "type": "n8n-nodes-base.stickyNote", "typeVersion": 1, "position": [ -660, -340 ] }, { "parameters": { "content": "### Setup\n1.

In **Settings**, put one job search per line in `queries` (as you would type it in Google, with the city), the `country`, `maxJobsPerQuery` and a `monitorName`.\n\n**Cost:** pay per new job returned (see the Actor's Pricing tab); the node caps each run with *Maximum Cost per Run*.", "height": 320, "width": 420, "color": 7 }, "id": "3cd8a884-824b-592d-8d1e-ed33bbbe6c0e", "name": "Setup", "type": "n8n-nodes-base.stickyNote", "typeVersion": 1, "position": [ 440, -340 ] }, { "parameters": { "rule": { "interval": [ { "field": "days", "triggerAtHour": 7 } ] } }, "id": "6d87c4fd-6bfb-50b1-bd92-cfd14e1a6f25", "name": "Every day 7:00", "type": "n8n-nodes-base.scheduleTrigger", "typeVersion": 1.2, "position": [ 0, 120 ] }, { "parameters": { "assignments": { "assignments": [ { "id": "5ecba77a-e7a5-5dd3-8253-b75bbb5e599f", "name": "queries", "value": "data engineer in Austin, TX\nproduct manager in New York, NY", "type": "string" }, { "id": "bedd939e-a7a9-5b8b-b5e9-1fb4a8b6fa47", "name": "country", "value": "US", "type": "string" }, { "id": "6961cb62-d963-5234-b7ed-cdbefe3cdcd8", "name": "maxJobsPerQuery", "value": 50, "type": "number" }, { "id": "e86adf40-b539-5e3f-a15c-4c8a8319589c", "name": "monitorName", "value": "n8n-new-jobs", "type": "string" } ] }, "options": {} }, "id": "90eab424-12c2-5f81-bcbf-00a38b1ac2fc", "name": "Settings", "type": "n8n-nodes-base.set", "typeVersion": 3.4, "position": [ 220, 120 ] }, { "parameters": { "resource": "Actors", "operation": "Run actor and get dataset", "actorId": "plainrows~google-jobs-scraper", "customBody": "={{ JSON.stringify({ queries: $json.queries.split('\\n').map((q) => q.trim()).filter(Boolean), country: $json.country, maxJobsPerQuery: $json.maxJobsPerQuery, onlyNewJobs: true, monitorName: $json.monitorName }) }}", "maxTotalChargeUsd": 2 }, "id": "cc4cbf6b-e0ee-5f9a-8ca3-cfc2032d5407", "name": "Search new Google Jobs", "type": "@apify/n8n-nodes-apify.apify", "typeVersion": 1, "position": [ 440, 120 ], "credentials": { "apifyApi": { "id": "", "name": "Apify account" } } }, { "parameters": { "jsCode": "// The Actor already returns only jobs it never delivered (onlyNewJobs).
