Fetch WARN Layoff Alerts Daily in n8n (Apify) to Custom Destinations

Fetch Apify WARN Layoff Alerts Daily in n8n (with custom destinations)

This n8n workflow automatically pulls new WARN Act layoff notices from Apify every day—then routes the results to a destination step you configure (Slack, Google Sheets, a CRM, and more).

What this workflow does

Designed for monitoring and timely action, it performs the following:

• Runs daily at 07:00 (or manually for testing) using an n8n schedule trigger.
• Calls the Apify actor transparent_meteorite/warn-layoff-alerts via an HTTP request to the Apify API, requesting synchronous results as JSON.
• Uses the actor input filters—such as states, daysBack, maxResults, and onlyNewSinceLastRun—to fetch exactly the WARN records you care about.
• Tags every returned item with a _source field so downstream steps know where the data came from.
• Passes the tagged layoff notice items to a placeholder destination step that you replace and map to your target system.

Use cases

• Send daily alerts to your team when WARN Act notices match specific states or time windows.
• Maintain a running log of layoff notices in Google Sheets for reporting and compliance workflows.
• Feed new WARN alerts into a CRM or internal database for operations monitoring.
• Test your filters manually, then activate the schedule once you’re confident in the results.

Technical details

• Nodes used: set, no op, sticky note, HTTP request, manual trigger, schedule trigger.
• Apify integration: POST to Apify with your Apify API token using an n8n Header Auth credential (Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_APIFY_API_TOKEN>).
• Output handling: returns dataset items as JSON, adds _source, then hands off to your destination.

Set your Apify actor filters once, plug in your destination step, and you’ll have a reliable daily WARN layoff monitoring automation in n8n.
