Create candidate record and send next-step email to applicant

Automatically monitor new application submissions across Jotform and Outlook, to score applicants and keep candidate records current. Create and update candidate records and send next-step emails when submissions arrive, so you can reduce screening delays and manual follow-up.

How this automation accelerates next-step outreach

When a new application submission arrives, delays can leave applicants waiting and candidate records incomplete. This automation finds or creates candidate records, scores answers, and sends next-step emailsβ€”so your team can screen faster.
