### Step 1: Access the Workflow and Assessment Step

From the main menu, navigate to the **Workflows** section.

Select the workflow where you want to configure candidate reminder automation.

Open the **Assessment** step within the workflow.

> Note: This automation is created only for the selected workflow-step and does not apply globally.

### Step 2: Open Workflow Automation Panel

In the Assessment step, locate the **Automation icon** placed beside the **Filters** option.

Click on the Automation icon to open the automation **side panel**.

### Step 3: Create a New Automation Rule

From the side panel, click **+ Create New** to begin setting up a new automation rule.

### Step 4: Configure Trigger (Start When)

Under **Trigger (Start When)**, select:

* **Candidate in invited status**

This trigger ensures the automation is evaluated for candidates who have been invited but have not yet started or completed the assessment.

### Step 5: Configure Condition (Check If)

Under **Conditions (Check If)**, select:

* **Time from invite sent**

From the list, choose one of the following intervals based on when you want the reminder to be sent:

* **24 hours**
* **48 hours**
* **72 hours**

This condition ensures reminders are sent only after the selected time has passed since the assessment invite was sent.

### Step 6: Configure Action (Do This)

Under **Actions (Do this)**, select:

* **Remind candidate via Email**

This action automatically sends an email reminder to the candidate, prompting them to complete the assessment.

### Step 7: Activate the Automation

Review the trigger, condition, and action to ensure all details are correctly configured.

Click **Activate** to enable the automation.

### Step 8: Verify Automation Creation

Once activated, the automation will appear under the **Current Automations** section within the Assessment step.

This confirms that the reminder rule is active and will run based on the configured time interval.

> [!NOTE]
>
> By enabling this automation, recruiters can improve assessment completion rates, reduce manual follow-ups, and ensure a smoother candidate experience.
