Zapier example: configure an automatic email sent to candidates after the interview
Using Zapier, you can configure a “Zap” to send an automatic email to the candidates after they finish their interviews. This can be really useful to keep candidates on the loop and committed to the selection process. It's also a good way to inform them of next steps within this process.
Follow these steps to set up post-interview automatic emails using Zapier.

The process of setting up the Zap is made up of two parts: the trigger event (When [this trigger] happens…) and the action event (Do this [action]...)
The Zap needs to be set for every separate Job. This means that if you have 5 different Jobs, you will need to set up 5 separate Zaps.
The email adress with which the candidate was invited to Hireflix will be the one receiving this new email.
⚠️ Remember to include the variable “Name” at the beginning of the mail template, so that each candidate gets their own name on their email.
