How do I add an Automation Template?

Note: some templates are only available on the Advanced Automations plan.

  1. Template Library
    Navigate to the template library, and click "View Template" on the automation you would like to use.

  2. Use Template
    Check the template to see a preview and check if it will work as you expect. Then click on the "Use This Template" button.

  3. Finish Configuring
    Go through each step, and click the "Finish Configuring" button to customize the template to your needs.

  4. Add Delays
    Don't forget to add delays to automated emails to help the process feel more natural for candidates. In this example, I'll delay the rejection email to send on the next business day.

  5. Review and Publish
    Click Review and Publish in the top-right corner to check that your automation is set up correctly. When you’re ready, click Publish Automation to make it live.

Your automation is now active and will run automatically based on the triggers and conditions you’ve configured. If you would like to build an automation from scratch, check out this article to learn more.
