1.Monitors new interview emoji reaction
Integrate Slack and HR channels to detect reacted interview requests from message reactions.
Send interview invite and flag candidate in hiring table
Automatically monitor Slack reactions in HR recruiting channels and identify candidates across Slack and Zapier Tables. Send a templated interview invite and update the interview stage when interview emoji reactions are added, candidate references are detected, or a single hiring record matchesβso you can update stages, send invites, and record timestamps without manual follow-up.
How this automation flags candidates for interviews
When interview requests arrive as Slack reactions, candidates can wait and hiring stages can lag. This automation monitors reactions, extracts candidate references, then finds and updates the hiring record and sends the interview invitationβso your team can move quickly.

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.
Rishi Shah, CEO and Co-Founder
We don't just want to patch holes; we want to build scalable, future-proof systems. Zapier is helping us do that.
Allen Lai, Head of Customer Experience
We've been able to scale our operations while staying lean. Zapier lets us do more without needing more people.
