The problem it solves

You want to catch new Upwork job posts before other freelancers do, but refreshing the site all day isn't realistic. By the time you check manually, the best-fit jobs already have a dozen proposals.

Who it fits

A freelancer or agency actively bidding on Upwork jobs.

How it works

  1. Listings are pulled from Upwork on a schedule
  2. Matching jobs are filtered based on your criteria
  3. Each match is logged into a Google Sheet
  4. A WhatsApp alert is sent so you can respond right away
What you get

New Upwork matches you never miss

You get a WhatsApp ping the moment a new Upwork job matching your criteria appears.

What you get

A running Google Sheet of matching jobs and instant WhatsApp alerts for new ones.

What you need

A RapidAPI account for Upwork data, a Google Sheets account, and a WhatsApp API connection.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
