CV Processing with Human Approval
AI summarizes incoming CVs and emails them to hiring managers for instant approval or rejection.
What it does
You get instant summaries of incoming CVs sent straight to your inbox for quick approval or rejection. With built-in action buttons in every email, you can review candidates and make hiring decisions immediately without manual processing delays.
Step by step
- Parse the input text to extract candidate name and key skills for the prompt context.
- Construct an HTTP POST request to the email service API with HTML body containing approval buttons.
- Implement a webhook endpoint that receives the callback from the email button click.
- Update the application database status based on the 'approve' or 'decline' payload received.
Where the LLM does the work
- Generate a concise professional summary of the CV that highlights relevant experience for the specific role.
- Determine which skills and achievements are most pertinent to the job description provided in context.
- Draft a polite, neutral tone for the email body that encourages quick review by the hiring manager.
Watch out for
Email clients often strip or block JavaScript buttons so use simple HTML links with unique tokens instead of interactive widgets.
PII data like phone numbers may be exposed if the summary is too detailed so redact sensitive contact info before sending.
The webhook endpoint must validate the signature from the email provider to prevent unauthorized status changes via spoofed requests.

Everything your agent needs, including the gotchas. Copy it and go.
You are helping me build the following AI agent workflow. ## Goal CV Processing with Human Approval: AI summarizes incoming CVs and emails them to hiring managers for instant approval or rejection. ## Specification - What it does: You get instant summaries of incoming CVs sent straight to your inbox for quick approval or rejection. With built-in action buttons in every email, you can review candidates and make hiring decisions immediately without manual processing delays. - Trigger: Triggered by an event (Manual · on new application) - Autonomy: You approve along the way - Expected setup effort: about an afternoon - Tools/services involved: - AI Agent: Summarize CV text - Email: Send summary and approval buttons ## Known pitfalls, handle each one explicitly in your implementation 1. Email clients often strip or block JavaScript buttons so use simple HTML links with unique tokens instead of interactive widgets. 2. PII data like phone numbers may be exposed if the summary is too detailed so redact sensitive contact info before sending. 3. The webhook endpoint must validate the signature from the email provider to prevent unauthorized status changes via spoofed requests. ## Reference implementation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIZzRGYpCbM (workflow template) Fetch and inspect this before building. If it matches my stack, adapt it; if not, rebuild the pattern with my tools. ## Process requirements 1. Before building: ask me which of the listed tools I actually use and what my platform is (n8n / Make / code / other). Do not assume. 2. Adapt the pattern to my answers; do not force the reference stack. 3. Address every pitfall above; tell me how you handled each. 4. Provide a test plan I can run before letting this touch real data. 5. Ask before any step that sends messages, modifies data, or spends money.
