Follow Up Agent for Microsoft Copilot - candidate follow-ups that never go cold

The free Follow Up Agent runs on Microsoft Copilot as three plain-text files: set it up once in a Microsoft 365 Copilot Notebook, approve a sample-data test, then trigger each run with the usage prompt and this run's inputs.

What the Follow Up Agent does

If your company runs on Microsoft 365, this agent lives where the files already are. It finds every candidate follow-up due today, drafts each email with the context of the last touch, sends the ones you approve and holds the ones with a reason to wait.

Candidate experience is mostly response time. This assistant keeps every open loop visible, drafts the follow-up with the full context, and respects requested timing - each message waiting for your approval. Nothing slips, and no candidate gets a nudge they asked you to delay.

Where the Included files go in Microsoft Copilot

With Microsoft 365 Copilot, create a Notebook, add skill.md as a reference and the setup prompt as the custom instructions, then run the setup and approve the sample-data test. With consumer Copilot, upload skill.md at the start of each session instead.

What a run looks like on Microsoft Copilot

A run looks like this: you open the Notebook, paste the usage prompt with this run's inputs, and Copilot works through candidate-follow-up against the referenced files. The output - it finds every candidate follow-up due today, drafts each email with the context of the last touch, sends the ones you approve and holds the ones with a reason to wait - comes back for your review before anything is used.

Setup, step by step

  1. Create a Copilot Notebook and name it after the job (for example: candidate follow up).
  2. Add skill.md as a reference and setup-prompt.txt as the custom instructions.
  3. Run the setup; the agent runs candidate-follow-up on fictional sample data first - approve that test before real work.
  4. Start each real run in the Notebook with usage-prompt.txt and this run's inputs. On consumer Copilot (no Notebooks), upload skill.md at the start of each session instead.

Honest limits on Microsoft Copilot

Notebooks need a work or school Microsoft 365 Copilot license. In consumer Copilot, treat each session as fresh: re-attach the files and re-paste the usage prompt.
