A quick step-by-step guide is here for you! Watch this video from Perry of the Product Support Team!

Sync Your Calendar to Talkpush 🗓

1. Go to your account settings in the upper right corner and click on My Calendar.

2. On My Calendar, select your calendar provider. E.g., Google

3. On the Pop-up window, click the box to agree with Cronofy's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy and then click Link Google Account.

4 . Choose the email account of the calendar that you intend to sync with Talkpush.

5. Click Allow for Cronofy to access your account.


Note: The timezone is dependent on the system timezone, this means that if your computer system is set to a specific time zone, then Talkpush will show that time zone for you.

There is a caching of timezone that expires after 1 hour, meaning the system takes up to an hour to update the time if the system timezone is changed.

Example:


Setting Up Time Slots and Time Availability

You can set up the length of meetings (15 min, 30 min, 1 hr) and set your time availability for your week.

  • Length of a time slot: Simply click on the Length of a time slot dropdown and choose the option that suits you best.

  • Activating the Slots: You can choose the time slots one by one or click and drag your cursor vertically by day. That way, you can cover several time slots simultaneously.

    Note:

    1. Users must have available space in their corporate calendars that matches the availability set up in the Talkpush calendar; otherwise, no available slots will appear.

    2. After the candidate has booked an interview the application/system doesn’t have any access to the candidate’s calendar, only the recruiter’s, so no updates should be reflected in the candidate’s calendar.

Don’t forget to hit Save.

Customize your Automated Messages and Reminders

Scroll down the calendar and set up your automated messages:

Confirmation Message

This message will be sent to the candidates once they have selected and submitted their interview date and time

Previous Day Reminder

A reminder message will be automatically sent to the candidate one day before their interview. You can create customized templates for the reminder message.

Same Day Reminder

This message will be sent automatically to the candidate on the day of the interview. This message can also be customized to the candidate.

A must-do before you customize your Automated Messages and Reminders is to read the Ultimate Token Guide.


Q: What is the calendar invite status for the candidate after booking an interview?
A: The application/system has no access to the candidate’s calendar, only the recruiter’s. So, no updates should be reflected in the candidate’s calendar.

Q: Can the scheduled interviews made in the recruiter's calendar be exported?

A: Yes, that data can be exported. Please take note that you must use the Calendar Scheduled at attribute and not the Scheduled at Attribute.
