Examples of using triggers:
- Send a rejection email automatically, for example one day after changing the status to “Rejected”.
- Follow up with a sourced candidate automatically after a certain number of days without response.
- Create a follow-up reminder for a placed candidate, a few weeks or months after their hiring.
Let’s see together how to configure a trigger.
1. Understanding how triggers work
A trigger is an automated action that occurs following an event.
To create your trigger, you simply need to define:
- the event that triggers it
- the action to perform
- (options such as delay)
Types of events that can trigger an action:
- Status change: When a profile moves from one status to another in a project.
- Interaction: When a candidate sends a new message or performs another action.
Actions that can be triggered
- Send a message: send a message, or a sequence of messages via LinkedIn, InMail, Email, …
- Change status
- Add a reminder: so you don’t forget anything
- Call a webhook: to communicate with external tools (use Make or Zapier to send Slack or Discord notifications for example)

Options
You can customize:
- delay: to trigger the action after a few minutes, hours, or days
- conditions to restrict which profiles are affected: only candidates, only sourced profiles, or exclude protected profiles
- trigger cancellation conditions: cancel the trigger in case of a new status change, a received message, etc.
- limit projects for which to activate this trigger
2. Trigger example: Automatic rejection message
In the example below, we’re setting up a trigger
3. Testing and monitoring a trigger in action
When a trigger is activated, you can see its status:
- It appears in the interaction history of the affected profile.
- You can cancel it or execute it immediately.
- You can preview the message before it’s sent.
