Workflow context
When to use this workflow
Use this workflow after a recruiter speaks with a candidate and needs to acknowledge the conversation while the team continues reviewing next steps.
What this replaces
This replaces inconsistent candidate follow-up emails, repeated role details, and manual HR BCC handling.
Why teams standardize this email
Prompt follow-up keeps candidates informed and improves trust. A workflow helps recruiters send consistent updates while keeping the message personal.

- Inserts the candidate follow-up email in Outlook
- Prompts for candidate name, role name, recruiter name, and recruiter job title
- Adds an approved next-steps subject line
- Can BCC a configured HR address
- Keeps the draft editable before sending
