Your application inbox

Everyone reaching out to you arrives in the Application Manager at /applications/, whether they applied through a listing or project on the platform or sent you an email.

Two ways applications arrive

• In-platform — someone applies through your listing or project, and their answers land structured, against the right form.
• By email — inbound email is turned into an application in the same inbox, so you are not working two systems. Inbound email is a plan-controlled capability.

Statuses

The tiles along the top filter by status: All, Unread, Discussion, Accepted, and Rejected. Under Discussion, a stage row lets you work one discussion stage at a time.

Filtering and sorting

• By listing — tap a listing to show only its applications.
• More filters — opens Saved, for starred applications, and Source: Portfolio, Form, Email, Imported, or via Agent. The toggle shows how many of these filters are on, and it opens by itself when one is active.
• Clear filters — appears when any filter is on.
• Sort — Newest first, Oldest first, Best match first (AI), or Highest ranking first.

On a phone, the same filters sit in the tools sheet.

Matches and reach

Two panels slide in from the header. Matches & invites shows portfolios that fit a listing and lets you invite people to apply. Share & reach appears once you pick a project or listing, and shows its landing page, share links, and reach funnel. See the article on reaching more applicants.

Working an application

Open one to see the answers, attachments, and history in a single view. Videos play on the page; download is a separate link. Previous, next and close stay visible while you scroll. When there are several files, All attachments starts collapsed. From there you can reply by email, run AI analysis for a summary and fit assessment, or move the person into your Talent Database if the relationship is worth keeping beyond this one approach.

Keeping it manageable

• Set a status on every application you open — decide once rather than twice.
• Ask Spotty to count or search your applications rather than scrolling: "how many in discussion on the festival project".
• Reject kindly and promptly. The person may be right for the next thing.

Settings and export

Inbox behaviour is configured at /applications/settings/, and you can export applications to CSV from the inbox.
