Prelude's Candidate Interview Reminders feature ensures that your candidates never miss a meeting! This article will cover Candidate Interview Reminders sent through email for Bookings and Booking Requests interviews. For more information about creating these reminders for Loops, see this article.

Once you've set up candidate reminders for your Booking or Booking Request, any candidate who has scheduled an interview time will receive the designated reminder email(s) at the time interval(s) you've set.

For example, if you set the time interval to 24 hours and the candidate has booked a meeting on Tuesday, 2/7 at 1:00 PM EST, they will receive the reminder email on Monday, 2/6 at 1:00 PM EST.

Reminders can be customized to include any and all information you wish to share with the candidate. This is a useful way to ensure that your candidate hasn't forgotten about their meeting, and has everything they need to be prepared.

Start by creating a new Booking or Booking Request, or opening an existing one from the Bookings or Requests tab.

For Bookings, go to the Edit tab. Navigate to Candidate Reminders and click Add reminder:

For Booking Requests, go to the Link setup step. Navigate to Candidate Reminders and click Add interview reminder:

Once you save your reminder(s), you can finish setting up the Booking / Booking Request. Moving forward, any candidate who schedules a time using that link will receive email reminders for their upcoming interview.

If you would like to build candidate reminders into your Booking Request flow, you can add reminders to your Booking Request Setup Templates. This way, your reminder settings will auto-populate each time you apply a template to your Booking Request.

Start by navigating to Settings > Templates > Requests > Request Setup. Create a new template, or open an existing template.
