Automated messaging with Stage Actions is one of Breezy's #1 timesavers, but making those messages more authentic can present a challenge. No candidate would believe that you're ready to schedule an interview the very moment they complete a questionnaire.

Breezy's Delayed Messaging to the rescue!

When you delay a message template send, you give the impression of consideration – delayed messages set up a customizable buffer between the time a candidate matches a Stage and the time you send them a message that correlates with that Stage.

Heads up!

By default, Breezy delays any Stage Action messages sent through a 'Disqualified' stage by 24 hours. Figured that one was a no-brainer. 😉

How to Delay Messages sent Via Stage Actions

In the Breezy header, go to the ⚙ gear icon to get into your Settings, then select Pipeline Stages. From there, click the 📝 pencil and paper icon next to pipeline you'd like to edit. In the Edit Pipeline window that pops up, you'll see every Stage you've configured for that pipeline. Click the 📝 pencil and paper icon next to Stage you'd like to edit.​

In the Add a Stage window that pops up, look for the Send Message header. That's where you'll find any templated messages you or your team have created to send to applicants and candidates.

After you choose the template you'd like to delay, Breezy will pop up a drop-down menu next to the template name. In the drop-down, you'll be able to choose from a number of delayed send times, from no delay at all to one week.

Select the option that suits you, and Breezy will delay your message for delivery at that time 👍
