Summary

This tutorial guides users through integrating the Vonage SMS API with Zapier, allowing them to automate text messages from Greenhouse recruiting platform, enhancing candidate experience and communication. To set up this integration, users need a Vonage API account, as well as accounts for Greenhouse and Trello. The goal is to create two Zaps that trigger when a new candidate applies for a role in Greenhouse, creating a Trello card and sending an SMS message to the candidate. Users will customize their Trello card with information from Greenhouse and connect it with the Vonage SMS API to send automated "Thank you for Applying" messages. Additionally, users can set up another Zap that allows them to text the candidate at will, adding notes to the profile in Greenhouse when a comment is added to the Trello card.
