Called for

I am called for a job interview to be held on 28/11.

Can we use "I was called for a job interview " in email or phone call invitation?

I am trying to use "called for" in the context of email or phone call invitation.

"called" sounds as if it is limited to the case of a phone call. If you want to include the possibility of an email, use "called in". I was called in for a job interview.
