Automate Candidate Deduplication from Gmail to Slack via Google Sheets
This workflow automates the detection of duplicate job applicants by comparing incoming Gmail emails with existing Google Sheets records. Alerts are sent to Slack for duplicates, while new entries are added to the sheet.
Designed for HR and recruitment teams, this workflow streamlines the process of handling job applications received via Gmail. By leveraging Google Sheets for record-keeping and Slack for notifications, it ensures efficient management of candidate data. The workflow periodically checks for new emails labeled as 'applicant', extracts candidate details using regex, and compares them against existing records in Google Sheets. Duplicate entries trigger a Slack alert, while new candidates are appended
