Generate Upwork proposals with GPT-4o-mini, Airtable and Slack

Upwork Proposal Automation with AI, Airtable and Slack

📘 Description

This workflow automates the complete Upwork job discovery and proposal generation process by continuously monitoring job listings, intelligently filtering opportunities based on your skill set, generating personalised AI-written proposals, and delivering instant notifications — all without any manual effort.

The workflow is triggered automatically every minute via Vollna's RSS feed, which monitors Upwork job postings matching your configured search filters. Each new job listing is parsed and analysed to extract key details, including title, description, budget, required skills, and job ID. A skills matching engine scores each job against your defined skill set and filters out weak matches. Duplicate jobs are automatically detected and skipped using Airtable as a reference store, ensuring AI credits are never wasted on already-processed listings.

For every qualified new job, GPT-4o-mini generates a tailored 150–250-word proposal that references specific details from the job post, aligns your experience to the client's exact requirements, and ends with a clear call to action. The proposal and all job metadata are saved to an Airtable base for review. A formatted Slack notification is sent instantly with the full job details and generated proposal, allowing you to review, edit, and apply directly from Upwork with a single click.
