--- name: Job Application Manager — Gmail & Notion Sync description: Syncs job application emails from Gmail and updates statuses in your Notion or SQLite tracker — detects offers, rejections, and interview invitations summary: > Use this skill to sync your job applications automatically from Gmail into Notion or a local SQLite database. It scans your inbox for emails from companies you have applied to, classifies each message as an offer, rejection, or interview invitation, and syncs the application status into your tracker without any manual effort. Supports Gmail label filters and sender-pattern matching for accurate company detection. Works with both Notion (cloud career tracker) and SQLite (local, no account required). Deduplicates entries so running it multiple times is safe. When syncing a specific company, it also enriches the Notion page with a timeline, conversation notes, key contacts, and preparation suggestions. Detects stale applications (no email activity in 30+ days) and flags them for follow-up. Extracts scheduled interview dates and optionally creates Google Calendar events. Auto-extracts ATS job links from email footers and infers tags (Referral, Remote, Urgent) from email content. Prints a pipeline funnel summary after every full sync. Uses a company alias table and edit-distance matching to prevent duplicate rows when company names vary (e.g. "Meta" vs "Meta Platforms"). Supports a bulk re-enrichment mode that retrospectively adds timeline, contacts, and prep notes to all existing Notion pages. version: 0.5.0 author: Yuan Chen repository: https://github.com/chenyuan99/swelist keywords: - gmail - notion - job-applications - application-tracker - career-management - offer-detection - interview-tracker - rejection-tracker - job-status - sync - automation - sqlite - email-parsing - career-tracker tags: - career - productivity - gmail - notion - job-search category: career metadata: openclaw: emoji: "📋" requires: bins: [] env: [] mcp: - name: claude_ai_Gmail reason: Search and read job application emails optional: false - name: claude_ai_Notion reason: Create and update application entries in Notion optional: true - name: claude_ai_Google_Calendar reason: Create calendar events for scheduled interviews optional: true config: - key: tracker_backend description: Storage backend — notion or sqlite default: notion - key: sqlite_db_path description: Path to SQLite database (sqlite backend only) default: ~/.offerplus/applications.db --- # Application Manager ## When to Use This Skill Trigger when the user asks to: - Sync or refresh job application emails from Gmail ("sync my applications", "check my job emails", "refresh my tracker") - Update the status of one or more specific applications ("mark Amazon as rejected", "I got an offer from Stripe", "update my application status") - Add new applications discovered in Gmail ("add this application to my tracker", "log this job email") - Check what emails arrived from a specific company ("did Google email me back?", "any updates from Meta?") - Track offers, rejections, or interview invitations automatically ("did I hear back from anyone?", "what's my interview pipeline?") - Sync applications into Notion ("add to my Notion tracker", "update my Notion job board") - Sync applications into a local SQLite database ("add to my sqlite tracker", "update my local tracker") - Export or review their full application pipeline ("show my application pipeline", "what's the status of all my applications?") - Update a specific company's page with conversation details, contacts, or prep notes - Flag stale applications that haven't had activity in 30+ days ("what's gone quiet?", "flag stale apps", "what needs follow-up?") - Re-enrich all existing Notion pages with timeline, contacts, and prep notes ("re-enrich all pages", "update all pages", "add prep notes to all my applications") Keywords: `sync applications`, `update my application`, `job tracker`, `application status`, `add to notion`, `update notion`, `check my tracker`, `update my sqlite tracker`, `got an offer`, `got rejected`, `interview invite`, `job emails`, `Gmail job sync`, `career tracker`, `application manager`, `track job applications` --- ## Setup (first-time use) **Always read `profile.md` first.** It contains the user's tracker backend choice, Notion database ID or SQLite path, Gmail label IDs, and career email. Resolve these fields before continuing (collect from user + write back to `profile.md`): 1. **Tracker backend** — `Integrations > Tracker Backend` - If blank: ask the user — "Do you use Notion or would you prefer a local SQLite file?" - Set to `notion` or `sqlite` 2. **If notion** — resolve `Integrations > Notion > Career tracker database ID` - If missing: ask user to open their Notion career tracker and copy the URL. The ID is the UUID in `notion.so//?v=...` - Derive: `NOTION_DB_ID`, `COLLECTION_URL = collection://` 3. **If sqlite** — resolve `Integrations > Tracker Backend > SQLite DB path` - Default: `~/.offerplus/applications.db` - On first use, initialize the DB: `swelist tracker init --db ` Or directly: `sqlite3 "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS applications (name TEXT PRIMARY KEY, status TEXT NOT NULL, job_id TEXT, applied_on TEXT, notes TEXT, updated_at TEXT DEFAULT (datetime('now')));"` 4. **Gmail label IDs** — `Integrations > Gmail Labels` table - If missing: run `mcp__claude_ai_Gmail__list_labels`, show the list, ask the user which labels are job-related, fill in the table in `profile.md`. 5. **Career email** — `Personal Info > Career email` - If missing: ask the user which email address receives job application emails. --- ## Config: Company → Gmail Populate from the user's own labels (`mcp__claude_ai_Gmail__list_labels`): | Company key | Gmail sender pattern | Gmail label ID | Label name | |---|---|---|---| | `amazon` | `noreply@mail.amazon.jobs` | _(run list_labels)_ | e.g. amazon | | `linkedin` | `jobs-noreply@linkedin.com` | _(run list_labels)_ | e.g. linkedin | | `google` | `@google.com` | — | — | | `meta` | `@meta.com` | — | — | | `_any_` | — | — | — | Add rows for any other companies the user has labeled. If no labels exist, rely on sender pattern alone. --- ## Config: Status Mapping Map email signals → pipeline status value (pick the **first** match). The pipeline is ordered from early to late stage; never move a status *backwards*. | Priority | Signal (case-insensitive) | Status | |---|---|---| | 1 | "offer" OR "congratulations" OR "pleased to inform" OR "we'd like to extend" OR "offer letter" | `Offer` | | 2 | "on-site" OR "final round" OR "technical interview" OR "virtual interview" OR "interview loop" | `Interviewing` | | 3 | "schedule" OR "next steps" OR "move forward" OR "hiring manager" OR "phone interview" OR "video call" | `Interviewing` | | 4 | "online assessment" OR "coding challenge" OR "hackerrank" OR "codility" OR "take-home" OR "assessment link" | `OA` | | 5 | "recruiter" OR "phone screen" OR "initial screen" OR "introductory call" OR "talent acquisition" | `Recruiter screen` | | 6 | "unable to move forward" OR "not selected" OR "no longer considering" OR "other candidates" OR "position has been filled" OR "not moving forward" | `Rejected` | | 7 | "application received" OR "thank you for applying" OR "keep track" OR "under review" OR "successfully submitted" | `Applied / Received` | | 8 | (no email found, only a job listing) | `Applied / Received` | If multiple threads exist for the same role, use the **most recent** email's status. --- ## Config: Next Action Mapping Auto-set `Next action` when creating or updating a Notion page: | Status | Next action | |---|---| | `Applied / Received` | `Waiting` | | `OA` | `Prep` | | `Recruiter screen` | `Prep` | | `Interviewing` | `Prep` | | `Offer` | `Send availability` | | `Rejected` | _(leave blank / clear)_ | | `Withdrawn` | _(leave blank / clear)_ | --- ## Config: Link Extraction Scan the full email body (not just the snippet) for ATS application URLs. Use the **first** match from the priority list; stop once found. | Priority | Platform | URL pattern to match | |---|---|---| | 1 | Greenhouse | `boards.greenhouse.io/` OR `grnh.se/` | | 2 | Lever | `jobs.lever.co/` | | 3 | Workday | `apply.workday.com/` OR `myworkdayjobs.com/` | | 4 | Ashby | `jobs.ashbyhq.com/` | | 5 | SmartRecruiters | `jobs.smartrecruiters.com/` | | 6 | LinkedIn job posting | `linkedin.com/jobs/view/` | | 7 | Indeed job posting | `indeed.com/viewjob` OR `indeed.com/rc/clk` | | 8 | Any URL containing `/jobs/` or `/careers/` + company domain | e.g. `stripe.com/jobs/` | Rules: - Strip tracking parameters (`?gh_src=`, `?utm_*`, etc.) before saving. - If multiple ATS URLs found in one email, prefer the one matching the priority list first. - If no ATS URL found, set `link = null`; do not write the field. - Never fabricate or guess URLs. --- ## Config: Tag Inference Infer `Tags` values from the email body using these rules (all case-insensitive). **Only write tags that already exist in the Notion Tags options list** — check first, omit if not present. | Tag | Signals to look for | |---|---| | `Referral` | "referred by", "referral from", "your referral", "employee referral", or application link contains `ref=` / `referral` | | `Remote` | "remote", "fully remote", "work from home", "distributed team", "location: remote", "anywhere" | | `Urgent` | "respond by [date]", "deadline", "respond within [N] days", "as soon as possible", "ASAP" | | `Visa` | "visa sponsorship", "H-1B", "OPT", "CPT", "work authorization provided" | Present inferred tags to the user before writing when running interactively: > "Inferred tags: [Referral, Remote] — write to Notion? (y/n/edit)" When running non-interactively (bulk sync), write them silently and note in the report. --- ## Config: Company Aliases Used in Step 3 to match email-extracted company names against existing tracker entries. Check aliases **before** running edit-distance; aliases are authoritative. | Canonical name | Known aliases | |---|---| | `Meta` | Meta Platforms, Meta Platforms Inc., Facebook, Instagram | | `Google` | Google LLC, Alphabet, Google DeepMind, Google Cloud, YouTube | | `Amazon` | Amazon.com, Amazon Web Services, AWS | | `Microsoft` | Microsoft Corporation, Azure | | `Apple` | Apple Inc. | | `Netflix` | Netflix Inc. | | `Uber` | Uber Technologies, Uber Technologies Inc. | | `Lyft` | Lyft Inc. | | `Stripe` | Stripe Inc., Stripe Payments | | `Airbnb` | Airbnb Inc. | | `Coinbase` | Coinbase Global, Coinbase Inc. | | `Figma` | Figma Inc. | | `Notion` | Notion Labs, Notion Labs Inc. | | `OpenAI` | OpenAI Inc., OpenAI LP | | `Anthropic` | Anthropic PBC | Add rows to this table whenever the user encounters a new company variant and confirms a merge. Write updated rows back to `profile.md` under a `Company Aliases` table so they persist across runs. **Edit-distance fallback** (when no alias matches): ``` FUNCTION fuzzy_match(extracted_name, existing_names[]): candidates = [] FOR each existing_name in existing_names: dist = levenshtein(extracted_name.lower(), existing_name.lower()) IF dist <= 2 OR one_is_prefix_of_other(extracted_name, existing_name): candidates.append((existing_name, dist)) RETURN sorted(candidates, by=dist)[:3] # top 3 closest ``` If candidates found: present to user — "Found similar entry: '{existing}'. Is this the same company as '{extracted}'? (y/n)" - Yes → use existing page; write alias to profile.md for future runs - No → treat as new company; create new row --- ## Config: Notion Database _(skip if tracker_backend is sqlite)_ | Field | Value | |---|---| | Collection URL | `collection://` | | Parent ID (for creates) | `` | Expected schema (updated pipeline schema): | Property | Type | Allowed values / notes | |---|---|---| | `Name` | title | `"Company — Role Title"` | | `status` | select | `Applied / Received`, `OA`, `Recruiter screen`, `Interviewing`, `Offer`, `Rejected`, `Withdrawn` | | `Company` | multi-select | Company name (e.g. `Google`, `Amazon`) | | `Tags` | multi-select | Labels like `Referral`, `Remote`, `NYC`, `Top choice`, `Visa`, `OA`, `Onsite` | | `Applied on` | date | ISO date when first applied | | `Last touch` | date | Date of most recent email in the thread | | `Interview date` | date | Parsed date of the next scheduled interview (if any) | | `Next action` | select | `Waiting`, `Prep`, `Follow up`, `Send availability` | | `Link` | url | Job posting URL or Greenhouse/application portal link | **If the database still uses the old schema** (status values `Not started`, `In progress`, `Done` instead of the pipeline above), notify the user and map as follows until they upgrade: | Old value | Maps to in old schema | |---|---| | `Applied / Received` | `In progress` | | `OA` | `In progress` | | `Recruiter screen` | `In progress` | | `Interviewing` | `In progress` | | `Offer` | `Done` | | `Rejected` | `Rejected` | | `Withdrawn` | `Rejected` | --- ## Config: SQLite Schema _(skip if tracker_backend is notion)_ **Current (v0.5.0) schema:** ```sql CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS applications ( name TEXT PRIMARY KEY, -- "Company — Role Title" status TEXT NOT NULL, -- pipeline status (see Status Mapping) job_id TEXT, company TEXT, applied_on TEXT, -- ISO date YYYY-MM-DD last_touch TEXT, -- ISO date of most recent email interview_date TEXT, -- ISO date of next scheduled interview next_action TEXT, -- Waiting | Prep | Follow up | Send availability link TEXT, -- job posting or portal URL (ATS-extracted) tags TEXT, -- comma-separated inferred tags e.g. "Referral,Remote" notes TEXT, updated_at TEXT DEFAULT (datetime('now')) );
