Automate CV screening and applicant scoring from Gmail to Airtable with AI

How It Works

1. Trigger Watches for new emails with attachments in a Gmail label.
2. Extract Data
   • Extracts job code from the email subject (e.g., FN-001)
   • Extracts raw text from the attached CV (PDF)
3. AI Parsing Uses Google Gemini to parse the CV and extract:
   • Name
   • Email
   • Years of experience
   • Skills
4. Job Lookup Uses the extracted job code to retrieve job details from Airtable.
5. AI Scoring
   • Compares applicant data with job requirements
   • Scores from 1–100
   • Generates a brief reasoning summary (in Bahasa Indonesia)
6. Log to Airtable Saves applicant data, score, and AI notes to the "Applications" table.
