Gmail + Make -> Telegram: Upwork leads

A workflow for monitoring incoming Upwork emails that match chosen criteria and sending instant Telegram alerts.

!Overloaded inbox!Risk of missing an important email!Slow reaction time!Manual email review

Problem

Upwork sends many email notifications every day. It is hard to quickly filter jobs by specific criteria, for example the client's country, which wastes time and can make you miss a relevant opportunity while another freelancer has already applied.

Solution

A Make.com scenario monitors the Gmail inbox, analyzes emails from Upwork, and instantly sends to Telegram only the jobs that pass the chosen filter.
