How to set up Email Forwarding in Inbox for parsing resumes?

To set up Email Forwarding in your Inbox for parsing resumes using RChilli, follow these key steps to ensure resumes sent to your inbox are automatically parsed and integrated into your system efficiently.

📩 How Email Parsing Works with RChilli

RChilli’s Resume Parser can process resumes directly from email inboxes. This feature enables organizations to streamline candidate data collection without manual intervention. When resumes arrive in a configured inbox, RChilli fetches those attachments and parses the information into structured JSON or XML formats.

🛠️ Steps to Set Up Email Forwarding for Resume Parsing

1. Create a Dedicated Email Inbox

Set up a dedicated email address for resume collection (e.g., careers@yourdomain.com). This acts as the centralized location where all resumes should be forwarded or submitted.

2. Set Up Email Forwarding (Optional but Recommended)

Forward resumes automatically from other mailboxes to the parsing inbox.

• In Gmail/Outlook: Go to settings → Forwarding → Add the parsing inbox address.

• Ensure spam filters or third-party rules don’t block the email flow.

3. Enable Email Parsing with RChilli

To use RChilli’s Email Parsing capability:

• Use the Browser Assistant (Oracle Integration) or setup via API.

• RChilli supports parsing resumes sent via email attachments in formats like .doc, .pdf, .txt, etc.

• Attachments should be resumes, not embedded in email body content.

4. Upload Zip Files (Optional)

For bulk parsing, you can compress multiple resumes into a .zip file and send it to the configured inbox. RChilli will process all resumes within the zip file automatically.

🔑 Authentication & Setup Notes

• Make sure you have activated the Email Parsing setting in RChilli’s MyAccount portal or your ERP panel.

• Assign parsing privileges to users via the admin settings (especially in Oracle integrations).

• Ensure your API user key, SubUser ID, and version (e.g., 8.0.0) are correctly configured if using API endpoints.
