n8n challenge 🎉

I just submitted my first ever n8n challenge 🎉 last week

Honestly didn't think I'd finish it.

I'm not a developer. I have almost zero coding background. But I built a fully automated AI Job Scout Agent for a Senior Backend Engineer named Daniel — and submitted it before the deadline.

The workflow runs every Monday at 8am. Searches live job boards using Firecrawl. Filters by stack, salary, location and deal-breakers. Delivers a ranked briefing straight to Gmail. Zero manual effort.

I hit 4 real errors while building. Wrong prompt source. Broken memory session. Firecrawl in the wrong mode. A busted date expression in Gmail.

Fixed all 4. Learned more in one day than I did in a week of watching tutorials.

If you're learning automation and haven't tried a community challenge yet — just do it. Nothing teaches you faster than a real deadline and a real project.

On to May's challenge now. 👊

Built with n8n + Firecrawl + OpenAI GPT-4o

Also accompanied by a video (dont know how did I make that!?) 🤣😁
