Does the person that applied have a custom email field on the guest entry?

Assuming the person that applied has a text field they entered their email address on in the Guest Entry, then the plugin has an [`onSuccess`](https://github.com/craftcms/guest-entries/tree/v1#guestentriessuccess-and-guestentrieserror-events) event that gets fired when a guest entry is successfully saved.

You could listen to that from another plugin, grab their email address from the custom field, then build an email and programatically send it their way.
