Illustrative example · fictional input
- Example input
- Fictional exercise. Current tracker: application_id,company,role,job_ref,status A1,Cedar,Analyst,J11,Applied A2,Cedar,Designer,J12,Applied Message M1, 8 October 2026: Cedar J11 Analyst interview confirmed for 12 October 2026 at 10:00 Europe/Warsaw. Message M1 is pasted a second time with identical text. Message M2, 9 October 2026: Thanks for your Cedar application. No role or job reference is supplied. Create the updated file from these inputs; no account access or messages.
- Example result
- Illustrative result, not a recorded agent run: A1 changes to Interview with the stated appointment. A2 stays Applied. M1 is counted once; M2 is unmatched rather than assigned to both roles. The new workbook retains two applications and records the change and its source.
Check uncertain matches and every interview date against the original reply. Use the new tracker only after reviewing changes; contact employers and manage your calendar yourself.
What you need
Upload your current CSV or plain spreadsheet and paste recent replies in their original form. The assistant matches them to applications, updates a separate copy and flags uncertain matches. It keeps old events and avoids counting repeated messages twice. You review one change list instead of retyping each update.
- A ChatGPT account with Work, file uploads and file creation available. Check your account limits before uploading; this guide requires no API key or app connection.
- Use copies of files you are allowed to share. Upload them in ChatGPT, not on JuicyAgents. Keep originals and unnecessary personal information out of the working copy.
- The assistant must actually read the files, run the requested checks and provide working download links. If those tools are unavailable, it must explain the limitation instead of claiming the job is complete.
Set it up
- Export a plain copy of your tracker, or start without one. Gather only the recent replies you want included; you can paste them as they are.
- Start ChatGPT Work, paste the prompt and provide the tracker and replies. The assistant should match and update the copy, asking only about uncertain records or dates.
- Review Changes and Unmatched, resolve any unclear match, and download the revised tracker. Reuse that latest file next time so history and message fingerprints stay available.
Your setup prompt is ready
Copy the ready prompt, or customize it with the settings. Paste it into ChatGPT Work to give it the task rules.
Customize (optional)
Defaults are ready to use. Changes update the prompt here; paste it into your agent to apply them.
Schedule: When I ask.
Choose whether the action summary includes unresolved questions without dates. All messages remain in the history.

Review checks, limits and sources
Not tested by Juicy Agents. The examples are fictional, not recorded agent results.
Check the result
- Both application rows remain and only A1 changes.
- M1 is counted once; its exact date and Europe/Warsaw time zone are preserved.
- M2 is unresolved and does not downgrade the interview.
- The output is a new file; no calendar or employer contact is claimed.
Known limits
- Not tested by JuicyAgents. Examples are fictional and do not establish accuracy, usefulness or saved time.
- This works with supplied replies and a tracker copy; it does not monitor email or update a connected spreadsheet.
- Plain data exports are supported; complex workbook features and ambiguous employer messages need manual review.
If something goes wrong
- Several roles at one company: supply the job reference for the unmatched message; do not allow a name-only guess.
- Old updates reappear: use the latest generated workbook including Events and its fingerprints.
- Missing time zone: leave the appointment incomplete until the recruiter or original message confirms it.
