Build me an agent workflow that triages new job applicants from my Tally job application form into our Notion ATS and posts a short alert to a Slack hiring channel.
Trigger: a Tally webhook on new form submission for my job application form.
When the webhook fires, the agent should:
1. Call Tally's Get Submission to pull the full response, including the file URL for the resume upload field and any sensitive fields (salary expectations, demographic answers, work authorization).
2. Fetch the resume from the URL Tally provides and read its contents. Resumes are usually PDF or DOCX.
3. Produce a structured candidate brief with: full name, email, phone, LinkedIn URL if present, current role and company, total years of experience, top 5 relevant skills, a 3-bullet summary of why they may or may not fit the role description supplied in the prompt config, and a rough rating of strong, maybe, or pass.
4. Create a new candidate row in our Notion ATS database using Notion's Create a Page, populating: Name, Email, Phone, LinkedIn, Current Role, Years of Experience, Skills (multi-select), Fit Summary, Rating (select: Strong / Maybe / Pass), Source = Tally, Submitted At, plus the sensitive fields (Salary Expectations, Demographic Answers, Work Authorization). The resume URL should also be saved on the page.
5. Post a Slack message via Slack Bot Send a Message to the hiring channel I configure. The message should include: candidate name, current role, rating with an emoji (🟢 strong, 🟡 maybe, 🔴 pass), the 3-bullet fit summary, and a link to the Notion page. Do NOT include salary expectations, demographic answers, or any other field flagged as sensitive in the Slack post — those live only in Notion.
Config the user should fill in: the Tally form ID, the Notion database ID for the ATS, the Slack channel ID for the hiring alert, the role description and must-have skills to rate against, and (optionally) the list of Tally field labels they consider sensitive.
Edge cases: if the resume is missing or unreadable, still create the Notion row with whatever data the form provided, mark resume_status = missing, set the rating to maybe, and note 'resume missing or unreadable' in the Slack alert so a recruiter can follow up manually.
What it does
- Watches your Tally job application form and runs the second a candidate hits submit.
- Opens the attached resume, extracts contact info, current role, years of experience, and top skills, then writes a 3-bullet fit summary and a strong / maybe / pass rating against the role you describe.
- Creates a fully populated candidate row in your Notion ATS database, with sensitive fields like salary expectations and demographic answers kept on the page only.
- Posts a short Slack alert to your hiring channel with the rating, the bullet summary, and a one-click link to the Notion page so recruiters can triage without opening Tally.
What you’ll need
- A Tally account with the job application form you want to monitor.
- A Notion workspace with a candidate or ATS database, shared with your General Input connection.
- A Slack workspace and the hiring channel you want updates posted to.
- A short description of the role you are hiring for, so the agent has something to rate fit against.
How to customize it
- Swap the role description, must-have skills, or nice-to-haves any time the job changes, without rebuilding the workflow.
- Change the Slack channel, mention specific recruiters, or tweak which fields show up in the alert versus the Notion page.
- Adjust the rating scale or the rubric, for example add a fourth tier like 'shortlist' or weight years of experience more heavily.
