New candidate alert for internal HR
Send HR a clean summary with the applicant name, role applied for, and contact details at the top. That helps the team move quickly on strong candidates.
How to Set Up Job Application Email Alerts
If you've not yet installed Noptin, you can install it as shown in the video below or follow our installation guide.
In your WordPress admin dashboard, go to Noptin → Email Campaigns → Automated Emails and create a new automated email. You will see the option to generate the email with AI or create it manually.
If you decide to generate with AI, paste the sample prompt below, review the output, and adjust the copy to match your brand.
AI Prompt
Write a job application alert email for the hiring team. Show the applicant name, role, contact details, and resume link in a clear layout.
Noptin will generate the email content, subject line, and layout based on the prompt, but you can edit all of it before saving the email and activating the workflow.
If you decide to create the email manually, click on the "Continue without AI" button then follow these steps.

Tips for Better Job Application Emails
Place the applicant name, job title, and contact details near the top so recruiters can scan the email fast.
Include direct links to the resume or portfolio so the team can review the application without extra clicks.
Use the same layout for every alert so the hiring process stays consistent.
