## 🧩 **1. Trigger & Data Collection**

---

### ⏰ `Trigger - Run Every X Hours`

**🔧 Node Type**: Schedule Trigger
**🧠 Purpose**:
This node starts your automation periodically. You define how often it runs (e.g., every 6 hours, daily, etc.).

**📚 Why It’s Important**:
You don’t want to manually check Upwork every few hours. This node automates it for you.

### 🌐 `Fetch Latest Upwork Jobs (Apify)`

**🔧 Node Type**: HTTP Request
**🧠 Purpose**:
Fetch the latest Upwork jobs by calling the [Apify Upwork Actor API](https://apify.com/).

**⚙️ Tech Behind It**:
A simple `GET` request pulls in structured job listings (title, description, budget, etc.) as JSON data.

**💡 Beginner Tip**:
No coding needed—just copy your Apify API URL with your token and plug it into the node.

## 🤖 **2. AI Name Extraction**

---

### 🧠 `AI - Extract Company or Person Name from Job`

**🔧 Node Type**: AI Agent / OpenAI Chat
**🧠 Purpose**:
Uses GPT to scan the job title + description and extract a **company name or client’s full name**, if present.

**📚 Why It’s Smart**:
Clients sometimes mention names like “Hi, we at DevSync...” or sign with their name at the bottom. This step grabs that.

**🧠 AI Prompt Tip**:
Use structured prompts like:

> “Extract a full person or company name from this job description. If not found, say 'none’.”

---

### 🧪 `IF - Name is Found?`

**🔧 Node Type**: IF
**🧠 Purpose**:
Checks whether the AI returned a name. If not, it skips that job.

**🛑 `No Name Found - End Early`**
Stops further processing and prevents wasted API calls or errors.

## 🧭 **3. AI Classification – Person vs Company**

---

### 🧠 `AI - Is It a Person or Company?`

**🔧 Node Type**: AI Agent
**🧠 Purpose**:
Classifies the extracted name as either a **company** or a **person** using simple AI logic.

**🔍 Why It Matters**:
Depending on what it is, the next step—searching LinkedIn—will differ.

---

### 🔀 `IF - Person or Company?`

**🔧 Node Type**: IF
**🧠 Purpose**:
Routes the flow to two different paths:

* Company → Search company profile
* Person → Search individual profile
