Workable offers two options when it comes to emailing and scheduling with your candidates.
You can integrate your company's Gmail or Microsoft 365 Outlook account, or use Workable's standard integration for email and scheduling if your organization uses Microsoft Exchange or other email clients. To check the two options navigate to Settings > Integrations by clicking your profile icon in the upper right.

FAQs

No. The integrations don't work properly with this type of mailboxes. Always use a single user primary mailbox.
