How Email Triggers Work in ATZ CRM

ATZ CRM offers an Email Trigger feature that automates email communication based on workflow actions. Whether it’s informing candidates about their hiring status or updating client contacts, email triggers ensure that messages are sent instantly, consistently, and without the need for manual effort.

Note: An email connection is required to use email triggers and to connect your email


Candidate triggers automatically send emails when a candidate’s hiring stage is changed. This simplifies communication and keeps candidates updated in real time.


  1. Go to Admin Settings

Navigate to Admin Settings → Email Trigger.

  1. Click “Add Email Trigger”

Fill in the following details:

  • Name: Add a descriptive name for the trigger.
  • Event: Select Hiring Stage is Changed.
  • Event Value: Choose the hiring stage that should trigger the email.
  • Select Email Template: Pick an automated template made for candidates.
  • Select Email: Choose a connected and verified sender email address.
  1. Save the Trigger No manual activation is needed—saving it activates the trigger instantly

  • When a candidate is moved to the selected stage (e.g., from INTERVIEW SCHEDULED to INTERVIEW RESCHEDULED STAGE ), and a trigger exists for that stage:

→ The selected template is automatically sent to the candidate.

  • Emails are triggered instantly upon stage update, with no extra clicks required.

Example:

In Job XYZ, if a candidate is moved to the Hired stage and a trigger exists for it, the corresponding email will be sent immediately.
