Often times recommendations must be requested and received in order to submit an application. In some cases, applicants may forget to check in on the recommendation request status and fail to fully submit their application. This article is a guide to automatically submitting an application once a recommendation request is received.
Automations can be used to submit an application under certain conditions. This would prevent the applicant from having to submit their application themselves.
In this example, we are looking at automatically submitting applications once the recommender completes their task. Note within the CONDITIONS field, all other application tasks must be completed.
