This n8n workflow automates the process of searching for rental apartments in Germany, filtering suitable options based on user-defined criteria, and submitting rental applications automatically. Designed for tenants seeking a streamlined rental application process, it integrates immobilienscout24 API, Google Drive, and email functionalities for efficient handling.

The workflow begins with a scheduled trigger, executing daily at 8 AM Berlin time, or can be manually triggered for testing. Users set their search parameters, including city, maximum rent, number of rooms, and personal information, in the configuration node.

Next, the workflow fetches the geographic region ID for the specified city via an API request to immobilienscout24, which is then processed to extract the relevant geoId. Using this ID, the workflow retrieves apartment listings matching the user’s criteria, which are then flattened and filtered to only include apartments within the maximum rent and desired number of rooms.

For each suitable listing, the workflow fetches necessary documents such as Schufa credit reports and salary slips from Google Drive. It generates a personalized cover letter with details about the apartment and applicant, then sends an email application to the landlord or agent, attaching the retrieved documents. After each application, it logs the details in a Google Sheet to track submissions.

This automation significantly reduces manual effort, ensures consistent application quality, and speeds up the rental process—ideal for busy tenants or property managers managing multiple rental inquiries.
