Introduction to email automation

Email automation is a way of streamlining communication between candidates and the hiring team. Instead of typing out an email for every candidate, you can use an email template, which will automatically fill out candidate-specific details using information stored in the system. This means that personalised emails can be generated for each candidate without the necessary intervention of a human being. This is particularly useful in workflow automation, as it lets you assign email templates to be automatically sent in response to certain actions.


eyrecruit comes with a default confirmation email, which is sent out whenever a candidate applies for a job, but other email templates can be created.

How to use email templates


Automated emails can be used when:

  1. Contacting a specific candidate
  2. Disqualifying a candidate
  3. Inviting candidates to interview
  4. Sending out personalised emails to multiple candidates.
