Add every emailed job application to your candidate sheet

When a job application arrives in the connected Gmail inbox, the AI reads the email and the CV attached to it - a PDF, a Word document or a photo - and pulls out the candidate's details: name, email, phone, location, the role they are applying for, current title and employer, years of experience, key skills, education, links, availability and a two-sentence summary. Those become one row in your Google Sheet, and a short card in your Slack channel tells the team who applied, with links to the email and the sheet.

Only emails whose subject mentions an application, a CV, a job or a similar word are read, and the AI skips anything that is not an application, noting why in the run history; you can also limit it to a job board's address. A detail neither the email nor the CV gives is left empty and listed in the Notes column, never guessed, and the AI is told not to record age, gender, ethnicity or anything unrelated to the work. Each value goes under its own heading, and if a heading is missing nothing is written: the Slack card says the candidate was not added and the run is marked as failed, so no application goes quietly missing.

You need Gmail, Anthropic, Google Sheets and Slack connected, the link to your sheet and your Slack channel's ID. Give the sheet's first row these headings: Received, Name, Email, Phone, Location, Role applied for, Current title, Current employer, Years of experience, Key skills, Education, Links, Availability, Summary, Subject, Gmail link, Notes.
