# How do Automated No-show Notifications work

Automated no-show notifications in **Live Interviews** proactively alert recruiters and organizers when candidates or interviewers fail to join a scheduled session. These notifications help reduce disruptions and ensure smooth management of interview workflows.

***

## How Automated No-Show Notifications Work?

* If only one or no participants join an Interview Room within the first **5 minutes**, Talview automatically sends a **“Possible No-Show”** email alert to the recruiter or organizer.
* Candidates and interviewers receive **multi-channel reminders** (email, SMS, push notifications) before the session to minimize no-shows.
* Recruiters can monitor **real-time status updates** in the Interview Room dashboard to track attendance.

## What Actions to Take After a No-Show?

* Review the **“Possible No-Show”** alert and confirm attendance in the dashboard.
* Reach out to the absent participant using Talview’s communication tools, email, or phone.
* Decide whether to **reschedule or move forward** with other candidates based on company policy.
* Use Talview’s **rescheduling flows** to offer new timeslots quickly.
* **Document the no-show** in the system for compliance and reporting.
