  • A new row is added to your Google Sheet with the candidate’s name, email, and application type, keeping your tracker up to date for the team.
  • An interview invitation email is sent to the candidate via Gmail, using your prepared message and placeholders such as {{interviewDate}}, {{interviewTime}}, {{companyAddress}}, and {{contactNumber}} so you can personalize quickly.

Benefits

  • Capture applicants automatically in Sheets (no manual entry)
  • Consistent, fast interview responses to candidates
  • Fewer inbox misses; one source of truth for your pipeline
