Mark completed e-signatures on candidate records in database

Automatically monitor new email in folder messages across Microsoft Outlook, Formatter by Zapier, Filter by Zapier, and Zapier Tables. Create and update when e-signature emails arrive, signer references are detected, or messages match a candidate recordβ€”so you can extract references, update e-signature flags, and write timestamps without manual tracking.

How this automation confirms completed e-signatures

When completed e-signature emails arrive but candidate records are not updated, onboarding can stall and recruiting teams lose time. This automation monitors new e-signature emails, extracts signer references, finds the matching candidate row, and updates the e-signature flag and timestampβ€”so your team can start onboarding fast.
