Templates live under **Settings** > **Templates**. Owners and Admins see this page. Everyone on your team can pick a template when they email a candidate, schedule an interview, or send an offer. The page has two tabs: * **Email** holds emails: rejections, interview invites, offer emails, and anything else you send often. * **Offer** holds offer letters, the page a candidate reads before they accept or decline. See [Send offers](/help/offers). ## The templates list Each tab lists its templates by **Name**, with **Created** and **Updated** dates. The **Email** tab also shows each template's **Subject**. Type in **Search templates** to narrow the list. On the **Email** tab, search matches the name or subject. On the **Offer** tab, it matches the name or the letter. Each tab holds up to 20 templates. When a tab is full, **New template** and **Duplicate** are grayed out. Delete one to make room. The Templates page on the Email tab listing Rejection, Next steps, Interview, Offer, Position closed, and Application received ## Built-in templates Your company starts with these email templates. You can edit all of them. | Template | Where it's used | | - | - | | **Rejection** | The **Reject** dialog picks it by default. Shows **Used for rejections** in the list. | | **Next steps** | A short note asking the candidate for times to talk. Pick it when you email a candidate. | | **Interview** | **Schedule interview** picks it by default. It includes the **Booking link** token. | | **Offer** | **Send offer** picks it by default for the offer email. It includes the **Offer link** token. | | **Position closed** | The close dialog picks it by default to tell people still in the pipeline that the role closed. | | **Application received** | Hotfix sends it to everyone who applies. Shows **Sent when someone applies** in the list. | **Rejection**, **Position closed**, and **Application received** can't be deleted, because Hotfix sends them for you. Edit them to change what candidates receive. You can delete the others. A deleted built-in template doesn't come back. The **Offer** tab starts with one letter, also named **Offer**. **Send offer** fills the letter from it. If you delete it, **Send offer** starts from your most recently updated letter, or a short built-in letter when you have none. ### Application received Hotfix sends **Application received** to every applicant once their application reaches your inbox. It goes out from Hotfix on your company's behalf, not from anyone's Google account, so it has no signature. Replies go to the **Reply-to email** under **Settings** > **Apply**. See [Apply settings](/help/apply-settings). It can use **First name**, **Job**, **Company**, and **Careers page link**. Any other token comes out blank. ## Create an email template Go to **Settings** > **Templates** and stay on **Email**. The **New template** panel opens on the right. Type a **Name**. Your team sees it in every template picker. A name is required. Fill in **Subject** and **Body**. The subject is one line. The body supports bold, italic, lists, numbered lists, and links. Click **Insert token** in the toolbar and pick one. It shows as a pill and fills in for each candidate. See [Email tokens](#email-tokens). Click **Save**. Don't put a signature in a template. Each teammate sets their own under **Settings** > **Preferences** > **Signature**, and Hotfix adds it below every email they send from their Google account. The template editor open on the Rejection template with token pills in the subject and body ## Create an offer letter template Go to **Settings** > **Templates** and click **Offer**. A new letter starts with the name **Offer** and a short default letter you can edit. Change the **Name**, then write the **Letter**. Click **Insert token** to add details that change per candidate, like **Pay** and **Start date**. Click **Save**. Offer letter tokens are listed in [Send offers](/help/offers#set-up-a-letter-template). ## Email tokens Tokens fill in when the email is written for a specific candidate. | Token | Fills in with | | - | - | | **First name** | The candidate's first name | | **Job** | The job they applied to | | **Company** | Your company name | | **Careers page link** | A link to your careers page, or to [Your jobs page](/careers-page#your-jobs-page) if you've set one | | **Booking link** | The candidate's open interview booking link | | **Offer link** | The link to the candidate's open offer | ### Where link tokens are required * **Schedule interview** only lists templates that include **Booking link**. The email must include it before you can send. See [Schedule interviews](/help/interviews). * **Send offer** only lists templates that include **Offer link**. The email must include it before you can send. See [Send offers](/help/offers). * In a regular email, **Booking link** and **Offer link** only fill in when the candidate has an open booking link or offer. If they don't, Hotfix won't send the email. Remove the token, or create the interview link or offer first. ### Your own fields as tokens You can add your company's custom fields to email templates and offer letters. 1. Go to **Settings** > **Fields** and open or create a field. 2. Under **Used in**, check **Email templates**, **Offer letters**, or both. 3. Save the field. The field shows under **Fields** in the **Insert token** menu. It fills in with that candidate's value, or blank if they have none. See [Fields](/help/fields). ## Edit, duplicate, or delete a template Click a template to open it. Make your changes and click **Save**. Or click **⋯** on its row: * **Edit** opens the template. * **Duplicate** makes a copy named **Copy of** and the original name, and opens it. * **Delete** removes the template right away. There's no confirmation, so check you picked the right one. You can also click **Delete** at the bottom of an open template. **Rejection**, **Position closed**, and **Application received** have no **Delete**. ## Where templates are used | Where | What you pick | | - | - | | Emailing a candidate from their record | **Template**, from every email template. Picking one replaces what you typed. See [Candidate record](/help/candidate-record#email-an-applicant). | | The **Reject** dialog | The rejection email. **Rejection** is picked by default.
