Interview Settings | Creating Interviews | Aural Docs

The Settings tab lets you configure how the interview is accessed, how the AI behaves, and which channels are enabled.

Shareable Link

By default, interviews are invite-only — only candidates you add on the Sessions tab can access the interview via their unique invite links.

To allow open access, click Create shareable link. This generates a public URL that anyone can use to start a session. You can copy the link to share it, or revoke it at any time to switch back to invite-only mode.
