Airtable Recruitment Pipeline Automation Agent

When a candidate record in Airtable moves to a new stage, AI triggers the appropriate action: interview invite at 'Shortlisted', schedule confirmation at 'Interview Scheduled', offer letter at 'Offer', onboarding welcome at 'Hired'. All done via WhatsApp and email - no manual recruiter messaging required.
