Integrating Guide with Coderbyte

Embed dynamic Coderbyte links throughout your interview communications

Updated over 2 weeks ago

🔗 How to embed a Coderbyte link using tokenized hyperlinks

You can use Coderbyte by inserting a dynamic, personalized link in other rich-text fields across Guide—like email templates, calendar invite descriptions, interviewer instructions, or direct messages.

Here’s how to set one up:

  1. Navigate to the rich text editor where you’d like to embed the link

  2. Type and highlight your link text (e.g., Join the coding session)

  3. Click the 🔗 link icon in the toolbar

  4. In the link URL field, paste your Coderbyte base URL (e.g.):

    https://coderbyte.com/editor/sharing:EXAMPLE_ID

  5. Click the token icon (🏷️) in the link dialog

  6. Select the $candidate.email token from the dropdown

  7. Your final URL will look like:

    https://coderbyte.com/editor/sharing:EXAMPLE_ID?$candidate.email

When sent, Guide will automatically replace $candidate.email with the candidate’s actual email. This ensures a personalized link for each interview without manual editing.

Here's a video overview:
