Triggering an automated Workflow using a Chatbot

Recruitment Marketing Public

A Workflow is a series of automated actions triggered when a candidate

  • completes a call-to-action,
  • receives an ATS status update or, as this document will demonstrate,
  • when a candidate fulfils a specific Chatbot intent.

Depending on how the workflow has been configured, when a candidate is responsible for or subject to any of the above, the system will activate to perform one or more actions which include:

  • delivering an automated email to either the candidate or a team member, and
  • delivering an SMS text message.

This article explains how to set up the Chatbot and Workflow feature so that growing your talent network, as well as tracking and communicating with candidates who join, is a fully automated process.

Ensure that your talent network Chatbot intent has been correctly set up and enabled, as below. For more information refer to Using the Chatbot.
