UPWORK PIPELINE — Triggered by Gmail Pub/Sub (new Upwork email arrived)
|
||
|
||
You are the Upwork auto-apply pipeline. A Gmail Pub/Sub notification just fired, meaning a new email arrived at jake@localbosses.org. Execute all steps below in order.
|
||
|
||
## 1. PARSE: Check Gmail for new unread Upwork job alert emails
|
||
|
||
Run:
|
||
```
|
||
gog gmail search "from:donotreply@upwork.com subject:\"New job\" is:unread" --max 5 --account jake@localbosses.org --json
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
For each email:
|
||
- Read it: `gog gmail get <MSG_ID> --account jake@localbosses.org`
|
||
- Extract: job URL, title, rate/budget, client stats, required skills
|
||
- Check if MSG_ID is already in `/Users/jakeshore/.clawdbot/workspace/upwork-pipeline/processed.json` — if yes, skip
|
||
- Add MSG_ID to processed.json immediately (even if we later pass on the job)
|
||
|
||
If NO new unread Upwork emails found, post a brief note to Discord #general (1458233583398289459) saying "Pub/Sub fired but no new unread Upwork emails found" and stop.
|
||
|
||
## 2. EVALUATE: For each new job, fetch the full Upwork job page
|
||
|
||
Use `web_fetch` on the job URL to get full details. Extract:
|
||
- Full description
|
||
- Client history: total spent, hire rate, rating, location, number of hires
|
||
- Number of proposals already submitted
|
||
- Required skills list
|
||
- Budget or hourly rate range
|
||
- Preferred qualifications / location restrictions
|
||
|
||
### Scoring (0-100):
|
||
- **Budget/rate alignment** (30 pts): $65+/hr = 30, $50-64 = 20, <$50 = 0. Fixed price: $5K+ = 30, $2-5K = 20, $1-2K = 10, <$1K = 0
|
||
- **Client quality** (25 pts): $100K+ spent = 25, $50-100K = 20, $10-50K = 15, $1-10K = 10, <$1K = 5. Adjust ±5 for rating (4.8+ = +5, <4.0 = -5)
|
||
- **Skill match** (25 pts): Perfect match (AI agents, MCP, Claude, n8n, automation) = 25. Good match (React, Next.js, full-stack, scraping) = 20. Partial = 10. Poor = 0
|
||
- **Competition** (10 pts): 0-5 proposals = 10, 5-10 = 7, 10-20 = 4, 20+ = 1
|
||
- **Clarity** (10 pts): Well-written with clear scope = 10, decent = 6, vague = 3
|
||
|
||
### Decision Rules:
|
||
- Score 65+ AND in our wheelhouse → **APPLY**
|
||
- Score 50-64 AND strong client ($50K+ spent, 4.5+ rating) → **APPLY**
|
||
- Non-US/non-Worldwide location restricted → **PASS** (regardless of score)
|
||
- Hourly rate max below $50/hr → **PASS**
|
||
- Fixed price below $1,000 → **PASS**
|
||
- Everything else → **PASS**
|
||
|
||
## 3. FORUM POST: Create Discord forum thread in phase-1-scouting
|
||
|
||
For each job, create a forum post:
|
||
- Channel: 1472706495635390565 (phase-1-scouting forum in guild 1458233582404501547)
|
||
- Use `message` tool with `action: "thread-create"`, `channel: "1472706495635390565"`
|
||
- Thread title: Job title (truncated to 100 chars if needed)
|
||
- Body format:
|
||
```
|
||
**Job:** [Title](URL)
|
||
**Budget:** $XX/hr (or Fixed $X,XXX)
|
||
**Client:** ⭐ X.XX rating | $XXK spent | XX hires | Location

|
||
|
||
### Apply Tags via Discord API
|

Read the Discord bot token: `exec` to run `cat /Users/jakeshore/.clawdbot/clawdbot.json | jq -r '.discord.token // .discordToken // empty'` or check environment.
|
||
|
||
Then apply tags with:
|
||
```bash
|
||
curl -s -X PATCH "https://discord.com/api/v10/channels/THREAD_ID" \
|
||
-H "Authorization: Bot $DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN" \
|

## 4. APPLY (if decided yes)
|
||
|
||
Read the Upwork Jobs SKILL at `/Users/jakeshore/.clawdbot/skills/upwork-jobs/SKILL.md` for the exact browser submission flow.
|
||
|
||
Steps:
|
||
1. Start browser (clawd profile): `browser action=start profile=clawd`
|
||
2. Navigate to the job URL
|
||
3. If not logged in, use 1Password CLI to get Upwork credentials and log in
|
||
4. Click "Submit a Proposal" / "Apply Now"
|
||
5. Set hourly rate: $50-65/hr (match job budget if $50+, otherwise bid $50)
|
||
6. Set rate increase to "Never" — use JS evaluate: `document.querySelector('[data-test="rate-increase"] select')` or similar to find and set the dropdown
|
||
7. Write a tailored cover letter:
|
||
- Hook: Reference specific details from their job post
|
||
- Proof: Mention relevant portfolio pieces (CRESyncFlow, 228-tool GHL MCP server, NicheQuiz, Reonomy scraper)
|
||
- Include portfolio link: https://portfolio.mcpengage.com
|
||
- Keep it 150-250 words, professional but personable
|
||
- NEVER mention Discord, Telegram, or any external platform
|
||
8. Fill any screening questions thoughtfully
|
||
9. **DELIVERABLE** — If the job asks for something demonstrable, CREATE IT:
|
||
- Landing page job → quick mockup HTML file or screenshot
|
||
- AI agent job → architecture diagram or workflow description saved as markdown
|
||
- Scraping job → sample output JSON showing what we'd deliver
|
||
- Chatbot job → link to https://thenichequiz.com as live demo
|
||
- Automation job → workflow diagram or n8n screenshot
|
||
Save deliverable to `/Users/jakeshore/.clawdbot/workspace/proposals/deliverables/`
|
||
10. Submit the proposal
|
||
11. Save full proposal text to `/Users/jakeshore/.clawdbot/workspace/proposals/YYYY-MM-DD-short-name.md`
|
||
12. Reply to the forum thread: "✅ **Applied** — $XX/hr, XX connects used"
|
||
13. Update forum thread tags to include "Application Submitted" (replace "Application Pending" if present)
|
||
|
||
## 5. PASS (if decided no)
|
||
|
||
- Reply to the forum thread: "⏭️ **Passed** — [reason]" (below $50/hr min, location mismatch, bad client stats, out of scope, etc.)
|
||
- Tags already set to "Passed" + category from step 3
|
||
|
||
## 6. OUT OF CONNECTS
|
||
|
||
If you need to apply but get an error about 0 connects or insufficient connects:

|
||
