1.Detects new applicant document record
Integrate Airtable, document field mapping, and record linking to start the workflow when a new applicant document record appears.
Post new applicant documents to reviewers for compliance
Automatically monitor new applicant document rows across Airtable and Slack. Send reviewer notifications when review status stays blank or not marked complete or documents get submittedβso you can route reviews, capture review links, and update records without manual follow-up.
How this automation accelerates your document reviews
When a new applicant document record is added, approvals can stall because reviewers do not get the handoff. This automation notifies reviewers in Slack and updates Airtable with the review linkβso your team can track compliance without chasing messages.

Without Zapier, we would have needed well over 100 employees today just to do what we're doing. We would have been out of business by now.
David Laderberg, VP of Sales
Without having automation, we would have to at least be double our size. Doubling is a bit of a euphemism β I think we would have died or fallen back into oblivion.
Marcelo Lebre, Co-Founder
Zapier helps us close far above 50% more deals than we would without it. It is a key element of our overall strategy and, therefore, of our sales pitch.
Raphael Bochner, Founder and CIO
Zapier gives us unlimited flexibility and creativity. With Zapier, you're like an artist with a blank canvas. I don't know what we'd do without it.
