Schedule interview and update candidate records same day

Automatically catch interview creation events across webhooks and recruiting tools. Create and update click to call tokens, block confirmed interview times, and refresh interview records β€” so you can avoid manual data entry.

How this automation confirms your interview slots

When an interview created event lands in your ATS, unconfirmed times lead to missed coordination and extra back-and-forth. This automation catches the webhook, finds records, normalizes phone numbers, creates click-to-call access, blocks time, and updates interview recordsβ€”so your team can confirm slots same day.
