In this article
System-level email notifications
System-level emails are sent to a user when an action is required on their part in order to move a recruitment process forward. It is not possible to disable system-level email notifications, however they can be deflected or triaged by setting up custom email filters for your work email inbox. Refer to the table below for descriptions of the events for which system-level emails are sent from Lever.
| Notification event | Description |
| Scheduled interviews | When an interview is scheduled with a candidate, all interviewers on the interview panel receive an email. |
| Feedback reminders | If feedback reminders have been configured for a scheduled interview, all interviewers on the interview panel receive email notifications after the interview (in accord with the cadence selected for reminders when the interview was scheduled) reminding them that they need to submit feedback. Reminder emails cease once the interviewer has submitted their feedback. |
| @-mentions | If a user is @-mentioned in a note by another user, they receive an email containing the note and an access link for candidate profile to which the note was added. To learn more, refer to our help article on adding and managing notes. |
| Approval requests | Users listed as approvers of offers, requisitions, and postings that have been submitted for approval receive an email containing details about the item submitted for approval. The email also contains buttons to either approve, reject, or inquire about the item. |
| Approval Confirmation | Users listed as the 'owner' of a job posting or requisition, or the offer creator who submits an offer for approval, will receive an email notifying them of completed approvals. |
| Automation workflows | Automation workflows can be used to automatically send emails to users within a Lever environment when triggered by a specific activity. To learn more, refer to our help article on setting up automation workflows. |
Account-level email notifications
Account-level emails are sent to a user based on the email notification preferences that they configured in their account settings (navigate to Settings > My account and scroll to 'Email notifications'). Account-level email notifications are designed to give users visibility into activities on which they wish to keep tabs. Refer to the table below for a breakdown of the events for which you can enable/disable email notifications. Note that users with Interviewer level access can only configure notifications for events marked with an asterisk (*).
