Description
The WP Job Manager addon connects the WP Job Manager job board plugin to AutomatorWP, triggering automations when candidates submit applications, when job listings are published, expired, or filled, and when employers create new listings. The extension adds dedicated triggers and actions to the AutomatorWP visual builder, allowing you to chain email sending, role assignment, task creation, and field updates without writing code or relying on external webhooks.
Key Features
- Application triggers: triggers workflows when a user submits an application for a specific job listing or for any job listing published on the site.
- Job listing lifecycle events: responds to the publication, approval, expiration, or filling of listings registered through WP Job Manager.
- Job listing management actions: automatically creates, updates, or marks job listings as filled from any configured automation.
- Chaining with other addons: combines with integrations already installed in AutomatorWP to send data to CRMs, email tools, and external platforms.
- No-code builder: configuration is completed entirely through the AutomatorWP visual dashboard, with dynamic tags for job listing and candidate fields.
WP Job Manager Benefits
- Automatic communication with candidates: sends confirmation, thank-you, or rejection emails as soon as the application is registered.
- Assisted screening: assigns tasks, labels, or specific roles to candidates according to predefined workflow rules.
- Reduced recruiter workload: eliminates manual data copying between the job board and management tools.
- Employer engagement: notifies internal teams and partners whenever new job listings go live or expire.
Who Is It For?
- Job portals and job boards built with WP Job Manager that already use AutomatorWP.
- Recruitment agencies and HR teams that need to automate screening, follow-up, and communication with candidates.
- Companies with a WordPress careers page that want to integrate applications into internal workflows without custom development.
Ideal for job portal managers, recruiters, and HR teams that use WP Job Manager and want to automate application routines and job listing publication directly through AutomatorWP.
