Generate dynamic interview links in calendar invites

Without logging into Coderbyte to manually create an interview, you can dynamically generate interview links within calendar invites from any calendar app or ATS. To do so, first make sure that you have API access enabled.

When a candidate clicks the link in the calendar invite, they will be directed to a waiting room. When the admin clicks the same link, they will be directed to a new blank interview and be able to admit the candidate into it.

Below are instructions for various tools:

• Via API
• Manually
• Calendly
• Prelude
• Greenhouse
• Ashby

Via API

See our API docs.

Manually

1. From within Coderbyte's platform, click Home. Copy the text of the URL after the final "/"
   
   
2. Paste that text at the end of this URL, replacing "orgSlug":
   https://coderbyte.com/interviews/orgSlug
3. Add "/" at the end of the URL:
   https://coderbyte.com/interviews/orgSlug/
   
4. Add the candidate's email address to the end of the URL, replacing "candidate@email.com":
   https://coderbyte.com/interviews/orgSlug/candidate@email.com
   

A properly formed link will look like:
https://coderbyte.com/interviews/joon-ig4qi/john.doe@acme.com
