The workflow starts when a chat message or trigger event is received. 2. It runs an Apify Actor to scrape job listings from your target platform. 3. The dataset results are fetched via Apify’s API. 4. A JavaScript Code node processes and filters the results for relevant jobs. 5. The data is saved to Google Sheets for tracking and reporting. 6.
