Weekly Slack Hiring Alerts via n8n + Google Sheets + Apify

Get weekly hiring alerts in Slack—automatically

This n8n workflow checks your target companies every Monday, detects newly opened roles using the Apify Company Hiring Signals Actor, and posts weekly hiring alerts directly into your chosen Slack channel.

What this workflow does

• Runs on a schedule: executes every Monday at 08:00.
• Reads target domains from Google Sheets: pulls company domains from a specified Google Sheets tab (expects a Domain column).
• Builds an Apify Actor request: creates the payload using those domains and enables watch mode so results can be compared to the previous run.
• Calls Apify via HTTP: uses the Apify Company Hiring Signals Actor to retrieve hiring/job-opening data per company.
• Filters for new roles: only companies with one or more newly opened roles since the last run are selected.
• Posts Slack messages per matching company: includes a summary (new role count, a few new role titles, total open roles, hiring velocity) and a sales-hiring note when present.

Use cases

• Track competitors and target accounts for new job openings without manual searching.
• Enable SaaS sales teams to react to hiring signals by getting weekly updates in Slack.
• Automation engineers use it as a practical example of n8n + Google Sheets + Slack orchestration with an external data actor.
