Email & templates

Communicating with candidates is a core part of recruiting. X0PA AI lets you email candidates from within the platform, reuse templates, and keep a record of every message on the candidate's profile.

Emailing a candidate

  1. Open a candidate (or select several for a bulk email).
  2. Select Email / Compose.
  3. Choose a template or write the message from scratch.
  4. Personalise using merge fields (e.g. candidate name, job title) so bulk emails still feel personal.
  5. Send. The email is logged against the candidate's activity.

Email templates

Templates save time and keep messaging consistent (acknowledgements, interview invites, rejections, offer notes). You can:

  • Select a template when composing.
  • Insert merge fields so each recipient gets personalised details.

Managing the template library is typically an admin task — see Templates.

Bulk / campaign emails

Send a templated message to many candidates at once — for example to invite a shortlist to apply for a new role. Use merge fields so each message is personalised.

:::caution Sending is outward-facing Emails and bulk campaigns go to real candidates immediately. Preview the message, confirm the recipient list, and check merge fields before sending. :::

Blocked emails & unsubscribes

  • Candidates can unsubscribe from your communications; the platform respects this.
  • Some addresses may be blocked (bounced or opted out). Blocked-email handling is managed in Admin.
