The situation you work through
Elina, a service designer in Turku, replaces her morning routine of checking four job boards by hand with one n8n workflow: a schedule, a job feed, a filter, a duplicate check, a tracker sheet, a digest email and an error alert.
Your practice task
Build your own tracker workflow: a schedule, a source that returns a list, a keyword filter, a check against what is already in your Google Sheet, an appended row, a short digest email and an error workflow that emails you when it fails. Test it by breaking it on purpose. Submit the steps in order with the node you used for each, how it avoids duplicates and tells you when it fails, one thing that broke and your fix, and its running cost counted in your tool's unit with the date you checked the pricing page.
