1.Triggers on new form entry
Integrate Cognito Forms to trigger on each new job application submission for mapping applicant contact data.
Send new form applicant details via SMS to coordinators
Automatically monitor new job application form entries across Cognito Forms and SimpleTexting. Get instant alerts when submission timestamp shifts, send-window matches, or contact details updateβso you can send SMS alerts, respect the preferred window, and track each application reference without manual follow-up.
How this automation protects your hiring alerts
When new applications arrive but SMS delivery is mistimed, teams miss candidates at the peak of intent. This automation maps form submissions to contact details, computes the send window, delays delivery, and sends SimpleTexting SMS alertsβso your team can follow up faster.

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.
