Follow up with candidates after screening
Start from an Ashby update and send candidates a focused WhatsApp next step, without losing time to another inbox.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Send message
Send a text message to a whatsapp number. note: the message will reflect on the recipient's phone number only if they have texted first.
Why this helps
Screening follow-ups get delayed when hiring updates live in Ashby and candidate conversations happen elsewhere.
- Reduce manual follow-up after screening decisions.
- Keep each message focused on the next recruiting step.
- Use only candidate contact and eligibility details supplied in the Ashby update or prompt.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ashby and WhatsApp once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for screening follow-ups.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to use the Ashby update to send a concise WhatsApp follow-up only when a candidate number and messaging eligibility are provided.
- 4Choose the notis_webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real Ashby candidate update and verify the WhatsApp result.
Questions about this workflow
Does Ashby provide the trigger for this workflow?
No Ashby trigger event is listed here. A Notis webhook starts the automation, and its request should carry the relevant Ashby update or candidate context.
Can it message any candidate?
The listed send message action says delivery depends on the recipient having texted the WhatsApp number first. Supply and check that eligibility in the workflow context.
