You can use PivotCX QR Codes to send links to external websites, such as career pages or benefits FAQs, you can also use them to link to job descriptions so applicants can review requirements, and compose a text message with a keyword to your PivotCX phone number. Keywords let you trigger an automatic response, activate a campaign, or activate an interaction with a chatbot.
