What it does

Closes the gap between "we like this candidate" and "the interview is on the calendar." Moving a record to the Shortlisted stage automatically books a slot and notifies the candidate, removing the back-and-forth scheduling emails.

When to use it

Use it once a recruiter has manually vetted candidates and just needs interviews booked fast. Ideal for high-volume first-round screens where the interviewer has predictable availability and you don't want a separate scheduling tool.

How it works

  1. 1A Notion candidate record changing to stage "Shortlisted" triggers the run.
  2. 2The flow reads the interviewer assignment and required duration from the record.
  3. 3Google Calendar is queried for the next open slot within the candidate's stated availability window.
  4. 4A logic step confirms a conflict-free slot was found; if none exists it routes to a manual-followup branch.
  5. 5The interview event is created on Google Calendar with both parties as guests.
  6. 6A confirmation email goes to the candidate via Gmail with the time, video link, and interviewer name.
