What did I create?
๐ค I automated the process of job applications. I created a form in Bubble to submit job applications and Zapier does the rest of the trick. For every job application submitted, I send a welcome email thanking the applicant and then create a task in Trello so that someone from human resources department can check the job application information. Here is how that works in practice:
Zapier automation
Job form submission
Welcoming email
Trello task management
