Text the company number from the phone on your admin account and ask about applicants. TextWork answers from the reports and transcripts already saved.

Ask who passed, who applied for a shift, how many screened yesterday, or what one person said. Name a date when you want one. A report question with no date covers about the last 7 days. A question about what people said covers about the last 30 days.

## What you can ask

- Who passed this week.
- Who applied for the night shift.
- What Maya said about her start date.

## What comes back

- A short text: the count, the names, or the matching part of a conversation.
- A long list is shortened.
- If your admin account is limited to certain report types, the answer uses only those.
- Asking does not text the applicants.
