How to do it
Step 1
Set up a job emails folder
Create a label or folder in your inbox called "Job Applications" (or similar). Set up a filter to auto-label emails from common ATS senders — Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday, LinkedIn — so they land there automatically. Takes 5 minutes and keeps everything in one place.
GMAIL FILTER — common ATS senders to include
From: (greenhouse-mail.io OR hire.lever.co OR ashbyhq.com OR myworkday.com OR linkedin.com OR jobs-noreply OR noreply@jobs)

Action: Apply label "Job Applications", Skip Inbox (optional)

In Gmail: Settings → Filters → Create new filter. Paste the from: terms, hit "Create filter," and apply the label. You can also apply it retroactively to existing emails.

Step 2
Copy and classify your inbox
Go to your job emails folder. Copy the subject lines and sender names from the last 7 days (or since your last check). Paste them into your AI tool with this prompt.
PROMPT — paste into any AI chat
Here are job application emails from my inbox. Today's date is [TODAY'S DATE].

[PASTE EMAIL SUBJECTS AND SENDERS — one per line, e.g.:
"Your application has been received — Acme Corp" from greenhouse-mail.io
"Update on your Director of Demand Gen application" from jobs@stripe.com
"Interview invitation — Glean" from recruiting@glean.com
"We've decided to move forward with other candidates" from noreply@ashbyhq.com]

Classify each email into one of these categories:
- NEW APPLICATION CONFIRMATION — first confirmation for a new application
- STATUS UPDATE — movement on an existing application (review, next steps, etc.)
- INTERVIEW INVITE — request to schedule a phone screen, video call, or onsite
- REJECTION — they're moving forward with other candidates
- SKIP — verification codes, newsletters, unrelated emails

For each email, output:
Category | Company | Role (if visible) | Date | Notes

Then give me a summary: X new confirmations, X updates, X interview invites, X rejections.

You don't need to paste the full email body — subject lines and sender domains are usually enough to classify accurately. For interview invites, open the email and add any date/time details to the notes column.

Step 3
Update your tracker
Take the classified output and ask your AI to format the updates as tracker rows — ready to paste into your spreadsheet or CSV.
PROMPT — paste into any AI chat
Based on the classified emails above, format tracker updates for me.

My tracker columns are: Date | Company | Job Title | Status | Notes

For each classified email (skip the SKIP category):
- Use today's date for the Date column
- Status values: Applied, In Review, Phone Screen, Interview, Offer, Rejected
- Notes: include the source platform if visible from the sender domain (e.g. "via Greenhouse")

Output as a table I can copy-paste into my spreadsheet. Flag any rows where I need to manually confirm the job title.

Copy the table output and paste into your tracker. For new applications, add a new row. For status updates, find the existing row and update the Status and Notes columns.

Claude Code reads Gmail directly via MCP integration, classifies application emails from the last 3 days, deduplicates against your existing tracker, and writes new rows to applications.csv automatically.
