Quick overview
This n8n template automates repetitive recruitment tasks by connecting Google Forms, Notion, and Gmail into one recruitment workflow.
It collects new applications, adds candidates to a Notion Applicant Tracking System (ATS), and automatically sends personalized emails when a candidate's recruitment status changes.
How it works
- Applications submitted through Google Forms are stored in Google Sheets.
- n8n checks for new applications and identifies candidates who haven't been added to Notion yet.
- New candidates are automatically added to the Notion Candidates Tracker with their name, email, phone number, role, CV/resume, and initial status.
- You can manage each candidate's recruitment stage directly from Notion.
- When a candidate's status changes, n8n detects the change and finds the email template configured for that status.
- Email templates can use dynamic placeholders such as [Name] to personalize the message.
- The personalized email is automatically sent to the candidate through Gmail.
