Creating and Customizing Templates
Email and SMS templates are the messages you choose to be automatically sent to candidates, with the timing of your choice.
You can have as many templates as you want. Assign them specific names so that you don't get them mixed up!
There are two types of templates:
- I. Invite, or
- II. Reminder
These invites and reminders can be sent through two different channels:
- Email, or
- SMS
When an account is created, it has 4 predetermined templates: invite and reminder via email, and invite and reminder via SMS.
However, our recommendation is that you tailor them to your company's culture.
These are the steps to customize a template:
- Go to Account > Templates
- Hit Edit ✏️ and modify the message as much as you want
- Preview it and Save it
Apart from customizing the existing templates, you can also create new ones. You can have as many templates as you want.
These are the steps to create a template:
- Go to your Account > Templates
