Why it matters
- Deliverability + trust: Clear, professional copy pairs with a proper sender domain (see Sender Domains).
- Higher completion: Time estimate + deadline + one strong link reduce drop-off.
- Less rework: Write once, reuse via template groups across postings.
Prerequisites
- A verified sender setup so mail isn’t blocked or spam-foldered. Use Outreach → Sender Domains.
Where to work
Sidebar → Outreach → Email Templates
Create a template
- Create Template

- Template name: For your team (e.g. “Customer Support – Interview Invite”).
- Template type, the event this email is for:
- Web Interview Invitation: when a candidate is invited
- Web Interview Nudge: reminder for incomplete interviews
- Web Interview Final Nudge: final reminder before the window closes
- Resume Upload Invitation: request a resume
- Resume Upload Reminder: reminder to upload a resume
- Invitation to Schedule: when a candidate is asked to book time (e.g. with a recruiter or hiring team)
- Interview Completion: confirmation sent after the candidate finishes the interview
- Report Ready: notification that their interview report or results are available
- Subject and body: Use Preview before saving.
- Create Template / save.
If a template type is missing from a template group, HeyMilo falls back to the system default for that message type.
Template groups

- (Optional) Sender email for the group
- Select one or more templates to include

- Include a clear deadline using
{{days_to_complete}}where it applies - Match your tone to the role (formal for corporate, concise for staffing)
- Test templates before applying them to live interview experiences
- Group templates by role, client, or program to stay organized
