Automated Candidate Rejection Notifications workflow

Who is this for?

Perfect for HR teams and recruiters who want to maintain professionalism and timely communication with candidates, even during high-volume recruitment periods.

What problem is this workflow solving?

After interviews, many recruiters forget or delay sending rejection messages to candidates. This can leave applicants waiting without feedback, creating a poor candidate experience and damaging the company’s employer brand.

What this workflow does

  1. This workflow automatically notifies rejected candidates through both email and WhatsApp:
  2. When the candidate’s status in your Google Sheet changes to “Rejected,” the workflow is triggered.
  3. It composes a personalized rejection email and sends it via Gmail.
  4. It simultaneously sends a short, polite rejection message to the candidate’s WhatsApp number.
  5. This ensures every candidate receives timely communication - no manual follow-up needed.

How to set up this workflow?

Built with n8n, this workflow connects Google Sheets, Gmail, and WhatsApp API.

Simply:

  • Link your applicant tracking Google Sheet.
  • Connect Gmail and WhatsApp accounts.
  • Customize the message templates once, then activate the workflow.

How to customize this workflow to your needs

  • Modify message content for different stages (e.g., “Rejected after interview” vs. “Not shortlisted”).
  • Add HR notifications (e.g., Slack or email alerts when messages are sent).
  • Integrate with your Applicant Tracking System (ATS) to sync candidate status automatically.
