Submission Status Available as Merge Tag in Automations

Merge Tags

What's new?

Submission Status is now available as a merge tag ({{%SUBMISSIONSTATUS%}}) in submission-based automations. You can now pull a candidate's current submission status directly into emails, SMS messages, and internal notifications.

Why does it matter?

This enhancement streamlines workflow automation for recruiters and operations teams by:

  • Enabling automated notifications that surface submission status inline without requiring workarounds

  • Supporting daily digests for triaging follow-ups with real-time status information

  • Providing immediate alerts when candidates move through the pipeline

  • Eliminating the previous gap where Submission Status, despite being a standard field on the Submission entity, was unavailable as a merge tag
