Send reminders to candidates with incomplete applications

Keep candidates engaged with automated and manual reminder options.

Updated over a month ago

When candidates start but don't complete their Truffle application, they're automatically enrolled in a reminder series to help bring them back. You can also send manual reminders at any time to nudge candidates who haven't finished.

This article explains how automatic reminders work and how to send manual reminders to incomplete applicants.


How reminders work

Automatic reminder series

Truffle automatically sends reminder emails to candidates who haven't completed their application. Here's when reminders are sent:

  • First reminder: 24 hours after the candidate starts the application without completing it.

  • Second reminder: 72 hours after starting if the application is still incomplete.

These reminders encourage candidates to return and finish their application. No action is needed from you—the system handles this automatically.

Send a manual reminder

You can also send a reminder to an incomplete candidate at any time.

  1. Navigate to the candidate's profile.

  2. Find the Application Pending section at the top of the page.

  3. Click Send reminder.

The candidate will receive an email prompting them to complete their application.

Note: You can send manual reminders even if the candidate has already received automatic reminders.


Managing application responses

Need to delete a response and start over?

If you need to delete a candidate's interview response and have them redo their application, contact Truffle Support. Our team will help you remove the existing response so the candidate can start fresh.

Alternatively you can also candidates to complete with a different email address.


FAQs

Can I turn off automatic reminders?

Automatic reminders are enabled by default and cannot be disabled. They help maximize completion rates by re-engaging candidates who started but didn't finish.

How many manual reminders can I send?

There's no limit to how many manual reminders you can send. However, we recommend spacing them out to avoid overwhelming candidates.

What information does the reminder email include?

The reminder email notifies candidates that they have an incomplete application and includes a link to return and finish the process.

Can I customize the reminder email content?

Reminder emails use standard Truffle templates and cannot be customized. If you have specific messaging needs, contact Truffle Support to discuss options.
