How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

  • TriggerReferral status changes on Monday boardmonday.com
  • LogicConfirm item is a referral and read new stage
  • ActionFetch referrer email and candidate from itemmonday.com
  • LogicPick message template for the stage
  • OutputEmail status update to referrerGmailGmail

What it does

Keeps referrers in the loop automatically. When a referred candidate moves between hiring stages on your Monday board, the workflow looks up who referred them and sends a tailored update email — "interview scheduled," "in final round," "not moving forward" — so the employee always knows where their referral stands.

When to use it

Use this when referrers constantly ask recruiters "any news on my referral?" Proactive, stage-specific updates cut that noise, keep employees engaged in the program, and make people more willing to refer again.

How it works

  1. 1A Monday status-column change on the referral board triggers the flow.
  2. 2A branch checks whether the moved item is a referral and which stage it entered.
  3. 3The flow reads the referrer's email and candidate name from the board item.
  4. 4A logic step selects the right message template for that stage (advanced, scheduled, or declined).
  5. 5Gmail sends the personalized status update to the referring employee.
