đź“… How to Send a Scheduler Link to a Candidate
The Scheduler Link feature allows you to send candidates a self-scheduling link, empowering them to choose the interview time that works best for them based on your team’s availability.
Step 1: Click “Schedule Interview”
-
Navigate to the candidate’s profile or the pipeline view.

-
Click the Schedule Interview button.

-
You’ll be prompted with two options:
-
Send Scheduler Link – allows the candidate to pick a time.
-
Manually Schedule – lets you pick and send a confirmed time.
-
- Select "Send Scheduler Link".

Step 2: Complete the Scheduler Link Drawer
A side panel (drawer) will appear with the following fields:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Interview Stage | Select the stage this interview is tied to (e.g., Phone Screen, Onsite). |
| Calendar | Choose the team calendar that this interview will appear on. |
| Candidates | Choose one or multiple candidates. |
| Interview Team | Select the interviewer(s). This determines the availability shown to the candidate. |
| Interview Length | Choose the expected interview duration (e.g., 30 min, 60 min, Custom time). |
| Send From | Select which email address to send the invitation from (e.g., SCALIS Email or your own). |
| Message for Candidate(s) | Optional custom message that appears in the email invite. You can use rich text formatting here. |
đź’ˇ Note: You can send the scheduler link on behalf of another user by selecting them in the Interview Team dropdown. Their availability will be used for scheduling.
🔥 Tip: The AI Notetaker can be added to Self-Scheduler Links by toggling it ON when creating the event or creating the interview template.
Step 3: Send the Link
Once all required fields are completed:
-
Click "Send", and the candidate will receive an email with a link to choose their preferred time based on the availability of the selected interviewer(s).
Notes:
- Scheduler links are unique & dynamic. Once a candidate books a time, it updates in real-time.
- You can always view scheduled interviews directly from the candidate profile or interview plan.
