There are two automation plans available in Pinpoint: Basic and Advanced. While Basic Automation helps you streamline simple, repetitive tasks, Advanced Automation lets you automate complex workflows across regions, roles, and stages while keeping every candidate experience consistent and personal.

Basic Automation

Basic Automation is included with every Pinpoint plan. It's designed to help you automate simple, repetitive tasks in your hiring process. You can set up unlimited Basic automations using straightforward triggers, conditions, and actions.

Included in Basic:

  • Triggers:

    • When a new job application is submitted

    • When an applicant changes stage

  • Conditions:

    • Stage name matches

    • Single- or multi-choice answer matches

  • Actions:

    • Send a rejection email

    • Email an applicant

    • Tag an applicant

    • Create a task (available on Plus+ plans and above)


Advanced Automation

Advanced Automation gives you the tools to automate more complex workflows. You’ll save more time, free up headspace, improve compliance, and give candidates a better experience.

Included in Advanced:

  • All triggers, including job creation and updates, offers, user events, and talent pipeline activity

  • All conditions, covering job, offer, user, application, and pipeline attributes (e.g., department, location, visibility, custom group, result, status, and more)

  • All actions, including:

    • Move applications between stages

    • Add or remove tags

    • Add or invite candidates to the talent pipeline

    • Send internal emails, onboarding messages, and background checks

    • Send equality monitoring surveys

    • Send SMS (application and general/marketing)

    • Update job statuses

Some customers may be on a legacy Automation plan with different inclusions. Speak to your Customer Success Manager if you’re unsure which plan you’re on.
