DreamApply + Twilio

Create applicants in DreamApply from new Twilio SMS messages

This Zapier integration automatically creates an applicant profile in DreamApply whenever a new SMS is received through Twilio. The integration extracts relevant information from the SMS, such as the sender's phone number and any provided details, to populate the applicant's record efficiently.
