# Interview invite automation The Intervieux agent invites one or more candidates to a real AI interview at once, scoped to a specific job and interview template with an optional personal note, generating an actual invite link for each candidate and showing you an approval card listing everyone who would receive one before it sends. Inviting candidates to interview is rarely a hard decision by the time it happens; the group has usually already been chosen by score or by hand. What actually stalls the pipeline is the mechanics: opening each candidate's record, picking the right template for the role, generating a link, one candidate at a time, until an afternoon disappears into a task that took thirty seconds of real judgment. The agent runs that same sequence for a whole list at once, using the job and template you already have configured, so the time spent matches the size of the decision rather than the size of the list. ## What invite automation covers create_interview_invite is the one tool here, and it does the whole job: given a list of candidates, it generates a real, working invite link for each, optionally scoped to a specific job posting and a specific interview template so the candidate lands in the right interview type rather than a generic one, and optionally carries a personal note. It works from your existing reusable templates, the ones built with an AI-drafted rubric and scoring traits already attached, rather than building a new interview from scratch each time. It always requires your approval on the full candidate list and the job before any link goes out, and it produces individual links per candidate rather than one shared link, so each invite is genuinely tied to that person's own application. The candidate lands on the actual job-board intro screening interview type built for that role, the same experience an applicant would get through a direct one-click apply, not a separate lesser version reserved for agent-driven invites. ## A walkthrough: inviting a batch after screening An employer says: "invite the seven candidates we just qualified to interview using our standard technical template." The agent confirms the job and pulls the technical interview template already saved for that role, then lists the seven names it's about to invite. The approval card reads: "Invite 7 candidate(s) to an AI interview: Dana Okafor, Leo Chen, Priya Nair (+4 more)?" The employer adds, "include a note saying we're excited to move forward," and the agent regenerates the card with that note attached before the employer approves. Each of the seven gets a working, individual invite link tied to that job and template, and the candidate on the other end lands directly in the correct interview type without anyone on the hiring side manually confirming which template applies to their application. ## What the agent confirms before it sends create_interview_invite always requires your approval, and the approval card names the candidates being invited, not just a count, so you can catch a name that shouldn't be on the list before anything is generated. Scoping to a job and template is optional but recommended; an unscoped invite defaults to your general interview setup, which is worth double-checking on the approval card if the role has any unusual requirements. A personal note is passed through as written, so the agent shows you the note text on the approval card exactly as it will appear to the candidate, rather than paraphrasing it back to you and hoping the final wording matches. Because each invite is generated fresh from the current job and template setup, a change made to either one after the fact never retroactively alters a link that already went out. ## Frequently asked questions ### Does inviting a batch of candidates require me to approve each one individually? No, one approval card covers the whole batch, listing the candidates being invited together. You review the full list and the job or template it's scoped to in one confirmation. ### Can I scope an invite to a specific interview type? Yes. create_interview_invite can be scoped to a specific interview template, so candidates land in the right interview type, like a technical screen, rather than a generic default. ### Can I add a personal note to an invite? Yes, and the agent shows you the exact note text on the approval card before it goes out, so you're confirming the real wording, not a placeholder. ### Does inviting a candidate remove them from other pipeline stages or actions? No. Inviting to interview is separate from stage moves. Advancing a candidate's pipeline stage is a different tool, covered on the pipeline automation page, and either can be used without the other. ### Does each candidate get their own invite link, or one shared link for the batch? Each candidate gets a real, individual invite link generated specifically for their application, even when a whole batch is invited in one approval. ## Related pages - [Your AI recruiting agent](/recruiting-agent) - [Pipeline automation](/recruiting-agent/pipeline-automation) - [Candidate outreach and comms](/recruiting-agent/candidate-outreach) - [Scheduling automation](/recruiting-agent/scheduling-automation) - [Frequently asked questions](/faq) ## Send a batch of interview invites Tell the agent who to invite and which template to use, then confirm the list before the links go out.
