hey, those nodes can be tricky with auth — which one is failing first? usually its an oauth/api key issue with google drive or the apify credentials. try enabling logging on the nodes to see the exact error, might give more clues. whats the error message?
Sure im working on Oauth for Gdrive right now, but apify is asking authentication yesterday, today i run again and found out it asking for authorization also
Hi Layla,
I’ve worked with similar automation setups using Apify, OpenAI/OpenRouter, Google Sheets, and Google Drive nodes, and the issues you’re describing are usually related to OAuth configuration or credential permissions between the nodes.
I’d be happy to jump on a quick 1:1 session with you to troubleshoot the Apify authentication and Google OAuth setup and get the workflow running properly.
Feel free to DM me here and we can set up a quick call.
Best,

yeah for apify that usually happens when the api key is entered inline in the node rather than saved as a proper credential — storing it as a dedicated credential makes it persist between runs. hope you get it sorted, great that folafoluwa jumped in to help!
sent you an email. we are currently in germany so waiting for some mutual time availabilites.
hope you and folafoluwa can sync up and get it sorted! the credentials-not-persisting thing he mentioned is usually the culprit with apify. let me know if you hit any other roadblocks."
Hi layla, thanks for your eaching out
I have sent a response via your mail looking forward to speaking soon

Hi Layla! Welcome to the dev world. You’ve picked a great stack—n8n and OpenRouter are a powerful combo for job search automation.
I’ve built similar systems for LinkedIn/Indeed scraping and CV scoring, and I can definitely help you debug those nodes 1:1. These errors are usually just small “hiccups” in data mapping between Apify and Google services (like missing file permissions or wrong JSON paths).
I’ve built some pretty complex n8n workflows (you can see them on my site), and I’d be happy to jump on a call to fix your flow and get it running.

This is a clean automation challenge — LinkedIn job scraping, AI scoring, and Google Sheets/Docs output is a workflow I can wire up in n8n.
The flow: LinkedIn job search results → n8n HTTP Request or Apify actor → structured job data extraction → OpenRouter/OpenAI scoring node (match score based on skills, seniority, location, company type) → Google Sheets logging → Google Docs resume tailoring trigger per high-score job.
The tricky parts are LinkedIn’s anti-scraping and keeping the resume generation quality high. I’ve worked around LinkedIn rate limits and know how to structure the AI prompts for consistent, useful resume customization output.
What’s your scoring criteria and are you open to using Apify for the scraping layer?

Hey @Layla1
I can help you fix the errors in your n8n workflow and get your LinkedIn job automation running smoothly end-to-end. We’ll troubleshoot Apify, Google Drive, and Sheets issues together and make sure your system works reliably without breaking during execution.
Here’s the approach:
• Debug Apify node errors (API, input, limits)
• Fix Google Drive auth & file handling issues
• Resolve Google Sheets upload/data mapping errors
• Test full workflow with real data
• Optimize flow to prevent future failures
