Indeed Job Tracker with Google Sheets

What This Agent Does

This Job Search Automation Agent transforms your job hunting process by automatically discovering relevant positions on Indeed, organizing the data, and delivering curated opportunities directly to your workspace.

Target use cases:

• Job seekers actively searching in specific industries or roles
• Career changers monitoring opportunities in new fields

Who Is It For

This agent is perfect for anyone serious about finding their next opportunity efficiently. Whether you're actively job hunting, casually exploring the market, or building a talent pipeline, this automation removes the friction from job discovery. It's especially valuable for professionals who want to stay ahead of the competition by being among the first to know about new postings, and for those who prefer data-driven decision-making with organized, searchable job records.

Required Integrations

Indeed Scraper

Why it's needed: This integration connects TaskAGI directly to Indeed's job database, enabling automated searches for positions matching your keywords, location, and other criteria. Without this integration, you'd be manually visiting Indeed multiple times daily.

Setup steps:

1. Navigate to the Integrations section in your TaskAGI dashboard
2. Search for "Indeed Scraper" in the integration marketplace
3. Click "Install" or "Connect"
4. Review the permissions requested (job search and data retrieval)
5. Authorize the integration by clicking "Confirm"
6. Verify the connection shows "Active" status with a green checkmark

How to obtain credentials: The Indeed Scraper integration uses public job listing data and doesn't require personal API keys. TaskAGI handles the connection to Indeed's public job board automatically. No additional credentials are needed beyond authorizing the integration.

Configuration in TaskAGI: Once connected, the integration appears as an available action in your workflow nodes. You'll configure specific search parameters (keywords, location, job type) directly in the "Search Indeed Jobs" node rather than in integration settings.

Google Sheets

Why it's needed: Google Sheets serves as your persistent database for all discovered jobs. This integration allows TaskAGI to automatically append new job records to a spreadsheet, creating a searchable, sortable archive you can access anytime and share with others.

Setup steps:

1. Go to Integrations → Google Sheets
2. Click "Connect" or "Authorize"
3. You'll be redirected to Google's login page—sign in with your Google account
4. Review the requested permissions (ability to create and edit spreadsheets)
5. Click "Allow" to grant TaskAGI access
6. Return to TaskAGI and confirm the connection shows "Connected"
7. Create a new Google Sheet or identify an existing one where you want job data saved

How to obtain API keys/credentials: Google Sheets uses OAuth 2.0 authentication, meaning you don't need to manually create API keys. Simply authorizing through your Google account grants TaskAGI the necessary permissions. TaskAGI handles all backend authentication automatically.

Configuration in TaskAGI: In the "Save to Google Sheets" node, you'll need to:

• Specify the sheet URL (copy the full URL from your browser when viewing the Google Sheet)
• Define which columns correspond to job title, company, location, job URL, and other relevant fields
• Map data from previous nodes to these columns so information flows correctly

Slack

Why it's needed: Slack integration delivers real-time notifications directly to your workspace, ensuring you're immediately aware of new job opportunities. This keeps you in the loop without requiring you to check the spreadsheet constantly.

Setup steps:

1. Open Integrations → Slack in TaskAGI
2. Click "Connect" or "Add to Slack"
3. You'll be directed to Slack's authorization page
4. Select the workspace where you want notifications sent
5. Choose the channel (e.g., #job-alerts, #opportunities, or a direct message to yourself)
6. Review permissions (ability to send messages)
7. Click "Allow" to authorize
8. Confirm the connection is "Active" in TaskAGI

How to obtain API keys/credentials: Like Google Sheets, Slack uses OAuth 2.0. No manual API key creation is required—simply authorize through Slack's interface, and TaskAGI receives the necessary permissions automatically.

Configuration in TaskAGI: In the "Send Slack Alert" node, you'll:

• Select the connected Slack workspace
• Choose the destination channel for notifications
• Customize the message format (what information appears in each alert)
• Set notification conditions (e.g., send alert for every job found, or only jobs matching specific criteria)

Configuration Steps

Step 1: Schedule Trigger Configuration

The workflow begins with a Schedule Trigger that determines how often the agent searches for jobs.

Configuration:

• Interval type: Choose from hourly, daily, or weekly
• Specific time: If daily, select what time the search runs (e.g., 9:00 AM)
• Frequency: For hourly, specify every 1, 2, 4, or 6 hours
• Example: Set to daily at 09:00 AM to search every morning

Why this matters: More frequent searches catch new postings faster, but less frequent searches reduce API usage. Daily is ideal for most job seekers.

Step 2: Search Indeed Jobs Configuration

This node performs the actual job search on Indeed using your specified criteria.

Configuration parameters:

Example configuration:

Keyword: "Product Manager"
Location: "Remote"
Job Type: "Full-time"
Date Posted: "Last 7 days"

Data output: This node returns a list of job objects, each containing title, company, location, job URL, salary (if available), and job description.

Step 3: Loop Through Jobs Configuration

The Loop node iterates through each job found in Step 2, processing them one at a time.

Configuration:

• Input: Select the job list from the "Search Indeed Jobs" node
• Loop variable name: Name this current_job (or similar) for reference in subsequent nodes
• No additional parameters needed—the loop automatically processes each item

Why this matters: Looping ensures every discovered job is processed identically, maintaining consistency in your data.

Step 4: Prepare Row Data Configuration

This Function node transforms raw job data into a structured format ready for Google Sheets.

Configuration: Create a function that maps job data to spreadsheet columns:

{
  "Job Title": current_job.title,
  "Company": current_job.company,
  "Location": current_job.location,
  "Job URL": current_job.url,
  "Salary": current_job.salary || "Not specified",
  "Posted Date": current_job.posted_date,
  "Description": current_job.description,
  "Date Found": current_date,
  "Applied": "No"
}

Why this matters: This standardizes data before saving, ensuring your spreadsheet is organized and queryable.

Step 5: Save to Google Sheets Configuration

This node appends each processed job as a new row in your Google Sheet.

Critical configuration:

• Sheet URL: Paste the full URL of your Google Sheet (e.g., https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1abc123xyz/edit)
• Sheet name: Specify which sheet tab to use (e.g., "Job Opportunities")
• Header row: Confirm column headers match your prepared data (Job Title, Company, Location, etc.)
• Append mode: Ensure set to "append" so new jobs are added without overwriting existing data

Setup tip: Create your Google Sheet first with column headers, then copy its URL into this node.

Step 6: Send Slack Alert Configuration

This node sends a notification to your Slack channel whenever jobs are found.

Configuration:

• Channel: Select your chosen Slack channel
• Message format: Customize what appears in alerts

Example message template:

🎯 New Job Alert!
Title: {job_title}
Company: {company}
Location: {location}
Salary: {salary}
Apply here: {job_url}

Advanced options:

• Mention users: Add @channel or specific usernames for urgent opportunities
• Conditional alerts: Only send notifications for jobs matching specific criteria (e.g., salary above threshold)
• Message frequency: Choose to send one alert per job or a daily digest
