Anyone who applies through an import, a webhook or a Form Builder form arrives with the status **Applied**. You decide who joins.

## Find your applicants

1. Open **Beta Readers** from the left sidebar.
2. The **Applied** tile shows how many are waiting.
3. To see only applicants, open the **Status** filter and tick **Applied**.

## Accept an applicant

Click **Accept** on the applicant's row. Their status changes to **Invited**.

If you've connected a newsletter platform, an **Add to a mailing list?** window opens so you can add the reader to one or more of your lists. Choose the lists and click **Add to list**, or skip it.

When you're ready to send them the book, click the paper-plane icon on their row. Their name and email are filled in for you.

## Reject an applicant

1. Click **Reject** on the applicant's row. Their status changes to **Rejected**.
2. A **Send a Rejection Email?** window opens. Choose a **Template**. A built-in beta reader rejection template is selected for you, or you can pick one of your own from Email Templates.
3. Click **Send Email**, or cancel to reject without emailing.

If you haven't connected an email account, you'll see **No email provider connected — this will open your email client instead.** The message then opens in your own email program for you to send.

The same window appears if you change any reader's status to **Rejected** from the status pill or the edit window.

## Handling many at once

Tick the checkboxes on several rows, click **Edit** in the selection bar, tick **Status** and choose a new one, then apply. Bulk changes don't open the rejection email or mailing list windows, so use the row buttons when you want those.
