Send a TBNT Email when Applicant Status is Updated

Set up a trigger in your Applicant Tracking System to automatically send a "Thanks but No Thanks" email to applicants when their status is updated. This document will guide you through the steps to configure this trigger, ensuring that a predefined email template is sent whenever an applicant's status changes to a specific status. Automating this process helps streamline communication and guarantees that applicants receive timely updates about their application status, enhancing the efficiency and professionalism of your hiring process.
