Email preferences and reply-to addresses

Configure your reply-to email address and label so candidate replies route correctly.

Where to find it

Settings β†’ Email Preferences. The page combines two cards: Email Signature (covered separately in Configuring your email signature) and Reply-To Setup.

Reply-To configuration

Two fields:

  • Reply To Email β€” the address candidate replies should land at. Validates as a real email format.
  • Reply To Label β€” the friendly name shown in the From / Reply-To header (e.g. "Acme Recruiting").

Save with the Update Reply To Settings button.

How it interacts with the email integrations

If you've connected your inbox via Settings β†’ Integrations (Outlook, Gmail, or Dedicated Email), outbound emails go through that mailbox. Setting Reply-To here lets you have:

  • A personal mailbox as the sender (so the email feels personal).
  • A shared address (e.g. jobs@yourcompany.com) as the reply-to (so replies land in the team queue).

Common patterns

  • Recruiter as sender, shared inbox as reply-to β€” high-personalization outbound, centralized inbound.
  • Shared inbox as both sender and reply-to β€” set up the Dedicated Email Address integration; everything flows through that address. Don't even need this Reply-To override.
  • Personal mailbox as both β€” leave Reply-To empty if you want everything routed to your personal address.

Out-of-office handling

If you set out-of-office on Gmail/Outlook, candidates emailing your address see your auto-reply. Add a backup-contact line β€” common pattern: "For urgent recruiting matters, reach jobs@yourcompany.com."

Bounces and unsubscribes

Bounces are surfaced on the candidate's email timeline; CVViZ flags hard-bounced addresses. Unsubscribe handling for marketing-style campaigns is part of email-marketing features (out of scope here).

Tips

  • Use a Reply-To label that matches what candidates expect from you. Mismatched labels look like phishing.
  • Validate the reply-to address by sending yourself a test message and replying.
  • If you switch teams or roles, update Reply-To β€” old shared mailbox routing causes lost replies.
