When setting up or amending your schedule interview activity, click on the Automation tab. Then check the Automate on Stage Entry checkbox.

From there, you’ll be asked to specify the automation type (whether you’d like to send out a direct booking link or a candidate availability link automatically).

If you haven’t already, ensure that an email template is set up for direct booking links or candidate availability links in the Communication tab of your schedule interview activity.

This is the email that will be sent out to the candidate automatically when they’re moved to this stage of your pipeline.
