FAQs

Does the share link expire?
No. It remains active until you close the interview or mark a candidate as hired.

Can I embed the interview in an iframe?
We recommend linking out for best mobile UX. If you must embed, wrap the link in a modal; Truffle handles responsive sizing.

What happens if a direct‑invite link is forwarded?
Each invite is tied to the recipient’s email. Forwarders will be asked to enter the original address, preventing duplicates.

Can I resend an invite?
Yes; hover the candidate row, click Resend invite. A fresh link goes out immediately.

Can I customize the email?

If you need deeper branding, reach out to our Support team and we’ll configure a custom template for you. In most scenarios we recommend using the link in an email that you customize.
